2nd Man Charged In Falls Twp. Shooting Over Fake Instagram Account

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA —A second man has been charged in a 2022 shooting following a fight in a school parking lot that started over a fake Instagram account, police said.

Corey “C.J.” Tulband, 20, is facing 70 charges including 16 counts each of aggravated assault and discharging a gun into an occupied structure, both felonies, the Falls Township Police Department said.

Tulband is free after posting 10 percent of his $100,000 bail set by District Justice John Galloway.

According to the criminal complaint obtained by Patch, Tulband was charged after Gavin F. Stanec, 19, of Levittown, named him to authorities.

Stanec and Tulband face charges of aggravated assault to cause serious bodily injury, discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure, firearms not to be carried without a license, criminal mischief with intentional damage, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person, among other charges.

The two were involved in the shooting into an unoccupied Willow Drive home, authorities said.

Falls Township Police said the incident started with a caller reporting a road rage incident in which he was cut off by a vehicle and the occupants of two white vehicles. One was described as a sport utility vehicle, and an unknown occupant or occupant had shot at him, the complaint states.

Police learned that two groups of juveniles and/or young adults were engaged in a large fight in the early evening of Aug. 23 at the Penn Valley Elementary School parking lot in Falls Township.

The cause of the earlier fight was reportedly due to accusations over a fake Instagram account used to desecrate someone's memory.

The vehicles then fled into the Willow Wood residential neighborhood in Falls Township. The resident at 157 Willow Drive reported her house was shot up.

Police checked the street in front of this residence and located seven 9mm and one .45ACP fired cartridge casings.
