A Lehigh Township man has been charged following an officer-involved shooting that took place July 29 in the township.

Pennsylvania State Police Troop M Major Case Team is investigating the incident, which took place approximately 3:51 p.m. when township police were dispatched to the 4100 block of Heritage Lane for a domestic incident between a 49-year-old male and a 71-year-old female.
