BRISTOL BOROUGH, PA — Police have named a suspect in the shooting incident and subsequent standoff that locked down a Bristol street for several hours on July 6. The Bristol Borough Police Department has obtained an arrest warrant for Angel Cintron, and have released new details in the case explaining why, when a SWAT team finally entered the home, no one was there. The day began with a verbal fight at the Bristol Borough Post Office, after which a red SUV with New York license plates — which police now believe was driven by Cintron — followed the other driver onto Route 13. Police say Cintron then fired several gunshots at the other car while traveling northbound through Bristol Township. The red SUV then turned around at Green Lane and headed south on Route 13. Cintron fled back to his residence on Pine Street, police say, at which time officers converged on the home. They suspected Cintron had been involved based on the car description from a prior incident. A police officer saw someone he thought was Cintron near the residence on arrival, and a bystander said Cintron had entered the home. Additional officers surrounded the residence, and their calls for him to exit the home went unanswered. At this point, the Bucks County SWAT Team was activated, police said. After securing a search warrant for the home, though, the SWAT team found no one inside. Police said that in a subsequent investigation, they determined Cintron had forced entry into a neighbor's home. Though the neighbor insisted that he leave, Cintron refused, and the frightened neighbor left the residence, according to police. The neighbor did not alert authorities of Cintron's presence there until questioned later. "It is believed Cintron remained in the residence until early morning the next day until all police assets left Pine Street," the Bristol Borough Police Department said. Cintron has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, criminal trespass, recklessly endangering another, and several other violations. The arrest warrant was issued by the Honorable Magisterial District Judge Daniel Baranowski.
