Officers from the Falls Township Police Department were dispatched to the 100 block of Willow Drive just before midnight for reports of gunshots.
Investigators believe at least one shooter fired a dozen shots on an occupied residence, but no one was injured.
Authorities suspect the two incidents could be related and may have started over social media.
Investigators on Wednesday asked the public for information, and specifically called on residents along Willow Drive and North Turn Lane to check their home surveillance footage for clues.
"Violence is intolerable and offensive in our community, we are asking residents of the areas surrounding both locations to provide any information that they may possess," the department said.
