Update: 11:15 a.m. Thursday

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Authorities are investigating an incident in which two girls were nearly struck by a stray bullet that entered the bedroom of a Bristol home last Thursday.

The Bucks County District Attorney's Office and the Bristol Borough Police Department are investigating the incident, said Manual Gamiz, spokesman for the DA's office.

Gamiz said he had no more information to release at this time. Patch also called Bristol Police to request further details.

Priscilla Hewlett told NBC10 the incident occurred around 9:15 p.m. last Thursday, Sept. 26, at her home in which her 8-year-old daughter and 11-year-old niece were in the bedroom.

Hewlett said she ran into the bedroom and spotted the bullet hole in the wall.

Hewlett told NBC10 that she frantically called 911 and that police interviewed her family and inspected the scene.

“They told me [the bullet] came from the neighbor’s house,” Hewlett told NBC10.

Hewett said she's received little information from the Bucks County District Attorney's Office, which she said was handling the investigation.
