On behalf of the Bucks County St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee and our Grand Marshal, Steve Aldrich, we wish to extend our deepest sympathies to everyone impacted by today’s tragedy.

Moments before hundreds of marchers, many community and children organizations were set to march, we received the alert from Falls Township Police.  Their quick response enabled parade participants and those gathered to celebrate time to get to safety.

What should have been a joyous occasion was darkened by the actions of a single individual.

The Parade Committee wishes to thank the brave and quick responses of the Falls Township, Bristol Township, and Middletown Township police along with all of our First Responders.

Our prayers are with our community.
