A shelter in place in Newtown Township has been lifted, and police say there is no danger to the community.
According to police, they responded to a domestic incident Sunday morning in the Headley Trace development on Newtown-Yardley Road.
Officers said a man was armed with a handgun and assaulted a woman.
He then barricaded inside of a home, prompting a SWAT response.
This left people in the area on edge, as this incident comes roughly 24 hours after residents of another Bucks County community woke up to a request from police to shelter in place.
