Police say a 70-year-old man is responsible for the shooting of a Delaware County father and daughter early Monday morning.
The shooting happened around 6 a.m. on the 900-block of Sylvania Avenue in Ridley Township.
Authorities say that a man in his 40s was leaving for work when his 70-year-old neighbor came outside and began shooting. He fired 10 to 15 shots, hitting the victim several times before his daughter came outside to see what was going on.
The neighbor shot her as well before returning to his home.
The father is in extremely critical condition. His daughter also sustained serious injuries.
Police say the neighbors had been fighting all summer and that they had visited the homes frequently. They believe that shooter was tired of the noise that was made while his neighbor’s shed was being built and finally snapped.
The suspect was taken into custody following the shooting.
The victim's wife was not home at the time of the shooting.
