Gunfire Sounds in Cheltenham Township May Just Be Police Training

The Cheltenham Township Police Department is undergoing its annual firearm training starting Friday and continuing for the next four weeks.

The training and qualifications program is required by Pennsylvania in order for police to retain their certification.

Residents who live in the eastern side of town should expect to hear gunfire during daylight hours, according to police.

Authorities warn the gunfire will sound throughout the township and residents should not be startled if some days the gunshots seem louder than others.

For more information, residents can contact the township police department at 215-885-1600.
