SELLERSVILLE, Pa. (CBS) -- A suspect is now in custody in a deadly double shooting at the Homestead Family Campground in West Rockhill Township. The Bucks County District Attorney's Office announced the arrest of 40-year-old Miles Jones on Saturday.

Jones is facing two counts of criminal homicide, 13 counts of reckless endangerment and a weapons count.
