Chaos Erupts at Oxford Valley Mall: One Person Shot at Bus Stop in Langhorne — Police Investigation Underway
LANGHORNE, Pa. — June 19, 2025 — A routine Thursday afternoon turned into a scene of panic and confusion after a person was shot at a bus stop located on the property of Oxford Valley Mall in Langhorne, Bucks County. The incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. near 2300 Lincoln Highway, prompting a large-scale police and emergency response.
According to Middletown Township Police, officers were dispatched to the SEPTA bus stop on the mall grounds following reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, they found a person suffering from at least one gunshot wound. The victim, whose identity has not yet been released, was treated at the scene by emergency personnel before being transported to a nearby hospital. Their current condition remains unknown.
The shooting sent shockwaves through the busy commercial area. Witnesses described the moment of the shooting as sudden and terrifying. Some shoppers sought shelter inside stores, while others ran for safety as police and mall security locked down portions of the area.
“There was a loud bang, and then people started yelling and running,” said Jamie Keller, a shopper who had just exited the mall. “I looked toward the bus stop and saw someone on the ground. It was terrifying.”
Multiple agencies, including Middletown Township Police, Bucks County Detectives, and emergency medical units, responded swiftly to the scene. The area was cordoned off with police tape, and K-9 units were deployed to search for possible evidence or suspects. Law enforcement officials said the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident, though they are still investigating the motive and potential connections between the shooter and the victim.
As of Thursday evening, no arrests have been confirmed, and authorities have not commented on whether a suspect has been identified or apprehended. Investigators are currently reviewing surveillance footage from nearby businesses and transit cameras, and are urging anyone with information or video footage to come forward.
The Oxford Valley Mall remained open following the incident, but with heightened security. Several businesses temporarily locked their doors during the initial response, and SEPTA bus service in the immediate area was briefly suspended.
This incident marks the latest in a troubling trend of public shootings occurring in typically safe suburban spaces. Community members have expressed concern over growing violence and the vulnerability of everyday locations like transit stops and shopping centers.
