Man accused of firing gun inside Bensalem restaurant turns himself in: Police

A 19-year-old man accused of firing a gun inside a Bensalem restaurant in late April turned himself in to police on Thursday, according to Bensalem Township police.

Almost a week after police said they obtained an arrest warrant for Landon McMahon, the 19-year-old turned himself in to police in connection with a shot fired inside the bathroom of Asad’s Hot Chicken.

The incident happened on April 27, 2026, at the restaurant located on Knights Road in Bensalem Township.

Officials said when they arrived at the restaurant, they found a hole in the wall and bullet fragments on the floor.

According to police, 11 people were inside the restaurant when the gunshot was fired.

As part of the investigation, detectives reviewed CCTV footage from inside the restaurant and used township intersection cameras and License Plate Reader (LPR) technology to identify McMahon as the suspect.

Police said McMahon drove away from the scene in a newer-model Infiniti sedan.

Bensalem Police obtained an arrest warrant for McMahon, charging him with recklessly endangering another person, firearms not to be carried without a license and other charges.

According to officials, the Middletown Police Department tried to conduct a traffic stop on McMahon while he was driving an Infiniti sedan. However, he fled from police, leading to a pursuit that officers called off in Bristol Township due to safety reasons.

On Thursday, May 7, 2026, McMahon was arraigned on the firearms charges in Bensalem and the fleeing and eluding charges in Middletown Township.

McMahon was remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10% of $125,000 bail on the Bensalem charges and 10% of $75,000 on the Middletown charges.
