The Tragic Shootings in a Philadelphia Suburb
Three individuals tragically lost their lives in two separate shootings that took place in a Philadelphia suburb over the weekend. The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Andre Gordon, is believed to be homeless and remains barricaded in a house in Trenton, New Jersey, as law enforcement officers work to resolve the situation.
The Events Unfold
Reports indicate that Gordon stole a vehicle before committing the first two murders in a home in Levittown. The victims were identified as his 52-year-old stepmother and his 13-year-old sister. Despite his violent actions, three individuals in the house managed to evade Gordon’s search for them.
After the initial shootings, Gordon proceeded to another nearby residence where he fatally shot a woman with whom he shares two children. Additionally, he used the rifle butt to assault the woman’s mother before fleeing the scene in a carjacked vehicle.
A Cross-State Pursuit
The suspect drove across state lines to Trenton, New Jersey, where he sought refuge in a house that is now surrounded by law enforcement officers. Thankfully, all individuals who were present in the house at the time of the incident have been safely evacuated without any injuries reported.
An Ongoing Investigation
Law enforcement officials have described Gordon as “extremely dangerous” and believe he is armed with an AR-15 style assault rifle. Due to the nature of the crimes and the suspect’s movement across state lines, federal authorities, including the FBI, are assisting in the investigation.
Residents in the vicinity of the initial shootings were advised to shelter in place, a precautionary measure that has since been lifted. The police continue to work diligently to bring a resolution to this tragic and unsettling series of events.
