A Warrington Township man who fired a revolver at another driver on the Newtown Bypass last October pleaded guilty July 29 to nine criminal charges, including two felony counts of aggravated assault, at the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown.

Christopher Corbi, 41, entered the pleas before President Judge Wallace H. Bateman Jr. Prosecutors withdrew a first-degree attempted murder charge and three additional counts of propelling a missile into an occupied vehicle as part of the deal, according to Central Bucks News.

Corbi is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 29.

What happened

The shooting began Oct. 27, 2025, on the Newtown Bypass between Summit Trace Road and Woodbourne Road. Police said the victim, identified by WPVI as Kathryn Runner, was passing Corbi's slow-moving Honda Civic when he opened fire into her vehicle.

Runner told WPVI in an October 2025 interview that she had not honked, gestured at or otherwise confronted Corbi before the shooting. "I had no road rage," she said.

After the initial shots, Runner slowed and followed the Honda while calling 911 to get its plate number. Corbi turned into the Swan Pointe development, stopped, exited his car and fired additional rounds at her vehicle. One shot struck her wrist. Her car sustained several bullet holes, including one through the windshield.

Police from multiple departments located Corbi's Honda about 30 minutes later in the parking lot of the Village Market on Washington Crossing Road in Lower Makefield Township. He was taken into custody without incident.

Charges and evidence

Corbi admitted to investigators that he fired twice at Runner's vehicle on the bypass and once more after she followed him into Swan Pointe. He directed officers to a trash can outside PetSmart in Newtown Township, where they recovered a revolver wrapped in a grocery bag. He also told police he discarded a box of ammunition in a trash can outside the Newtown Farmer's Market.

Beyond the two felony aggravated assault counts, Corbi pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of propelling a missile into an occupied vehicle, possessing an instrument of crime, possessing a weapon, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, criminal mischief and tampering with physical evidence.

What's next

Corbi remains free after posting 10 percent of $1 million bail. He is represented by Bensalem attorney Paul Jared Mallis. Sentencing before Judge Bateman is set for Sept. 29 at the Justice Center, 100 North Main St., Doylestown.
