A man has barricaded himself with several hostages in Trenton, New Jersey, after killing three people in Falls Township, Pennsylvania, Saturday morning, according to local officials. The killings are believed to be domestic-related and occurred at two different residences. The suspect has been identified as 26-year-old Andre Gordon, who is armed and dangerous.
Police were called to investigate a reported shooting in Levittown, where Gordon fatally shot two people. He then went to Edgewood Lane and shot another individual. After the shootings, Gordon carjacked a driver at gunpoint in the parking lot of a Dollar General. The driver was unharmed. It is believed that Gordon knew all of the victims except for the carjacking victim.
Gordon is described as approximately 6’1”, with a thin build, and was last seen wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt. He is believed to be in possession of an assault rifle and may have additional weapons. The FBI is assisting with the investigation, and the Pennsylvania State Police are also involved. The carjacked vehicle was found in Trenton, New Jersey.
The situation is ongoing, and law enforcement agencies are coordinating their efforts. Governor Josh Shapiro has urged people in the area to shelter in place and follow the instructions of law enforcement. Falls Township will lift its shelter-in-place order now that the suspect is in Trenton.
