A witness told police that the shooter had entered a downstairs apartment, and police evacuated about 50 people and told others to shelter in place while Bucks County SWAT Team members tried to make contact with him.

Coluzzi said SWAT team members entered the apartment at about 4:30 p.m. Friday and found the man dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and a weapon in his hand. He was identified as 59-year-old Brian Moyer.

The name of the victim, described as a man in his 30s, hasn't been released pending notification of his relatives.

Coluzzi said Moyer and the victim lived in separate upstairs and downstairs apartments. Police have yet to determine a motive for the slaying.
