Pennsylvania Man, Andre Gordon Arrested for Shooting Spree Resulting in Deaths of Girlfriend, Stepmom, and Teen Sister

On Saturday, a series of shootings unfolded in Falls Township, Pennsylvania, tragically claiming the lives of three individuals. 

The suspect, Andre Gordon, subsequently fled to New Jersey, leading to a tense standoff with authorities before being apprehended. 

The incident began on Saturday morning when 26-year-old Andre Gordon allegedly forced entry into a residence on Viewpoint Lane.  

Inside, he fatally shot two individuals.  

Officials have since identified them as Karen Gordon (52), believed to be Andre's stepmother, and his 13-year-old sister, Kera Gordon.  

Three other occupants, including a minor, managed to hide during the attack and fortunately emerged unharmed.

Following the Viewpoint Lane shootings, Gordon reportedly stole a vehicle and proceeded to a second residence on Edgewood Lane. 

There, he tragically shot and killed Taylor Daniel (25), the mother of his two children.  

The Bucks County District Attorney's Office statement indicates that four others were present at the time.  

The statement also details that Gordon used an assault rifle to bludgeon Ms. Daniel's mother.

Manhunt and Standoff in Trenton

After the shootings, authorities believe Gordon carjacked another vehicle, a dark gray 2016 Honda CR-V, from an unsuspecting individual at a Morrisville, Pennsylvania Dollar General store. 

The stolen car was later located abandoned in New Jersey.

A critical development occurred when authorities received information around midday on Saturday, indicating Gordon was barricaded inside a residence on Phillips Street in Trenton, New Jersey, with potential hostages. 

The Trenton City Police Department swiftly deployed its SWAT team to secure the perimeter of the building.

As a precautionary measure, a shelter-in-place order had been issued earlier in Falls Township.

Thankfully, upon learning of the situation in Trenton, authorities lifted the order at approximately 12:25 PM.

Apprehension of Andre Gordon

Authorities issued a public description of Gordon, highlighting his tall and thin build, dark hooded sweatshirt attire. 

They also warned that he is suspected of having an assault rifle and potentially additional weapons.  

The focus of the communication emphasized the extreme danger Gordon posed to the public.

Thankfully, the arrest of Andre Gordon in Trenton came later that evening, around 5 PM. 

Authorities confirmed that he would face charges in Bucks County at the appropriate time.
