The shooter is an off-duty Clifton, NJ, police officer; one Doylestown officer was struck by a piece of concrete when a bullet hit the curb.
Update 10:47 p.m.: Folks helping out: We're told that the Penn Taproom is sending food to people displaced by the standoff and that the Highland Farm Bed and Breakfast has offered its four rooms to people without a place to stay.
