BREAKING UPDATE: Suspect Andre Gordon arrested after 3 killed in Pennsylvania, police standoff at New Jersey home

Three people were shot and killed in Pennsylvania on Saturday. It was initially reported that the suspect may have taken hostages in a New Jersey home after fleeing the scene, according to local authorities. The suspect was arrested after a police standoff at a New Jersey home.

According to a report from Fox 29, local police issued a shelter in place order on Saturday. Police identified the suspect as 26-year-old Andre Gordon. The victims have been identified as Gordon’s stepmother, Karen Gordon, 52, and his 13-year-old sister Kera Gordon as well as 25-year-old Taylor Daniel, the mother of his two children.

Andre Gordon is believed to be homeless and has ties to Trenton, New Jersey.

"Police are asking residents to lock all doors and move to a central and secure location away from windows," the Falls Township Police Department said in a statement. Three people were killed after being shot.

Gordon was seen by police, according to the outlet, driving away in a stolen vehicle.

Local authorities responded to a call about a shooting just before 9 am local time to Viewpoint Lane in Falls Township.

According to police, Gordon shot and killed two people in a nearby home and then drove to Edgewood Lane at around 9 am before he then fatally shot a third person and fled the scene of the crime.

After fleeing the scene, Gordon held a customer at a local Dollar General at gunpoint in the parking lot on Bristol Pike in Morrisville in a carjacking. The customer who had the car stolen was unharmed.

Gordon was then seen driving the 2016 grey Honda CRV with a Pennsylvania plate reading KFR-1534. It was found discarded later in Trenton, New Jersey when SWAT teams responded to the scene.

The SWAT team tracked down Gordon to where he barricaded himself in a home on Miller Street in Trenton. Police received information that he took multiple hostages in the home.

Police confirmed after a standoff that the residents in the home were able to escape to safety. Gordon was taken into custody at around 5 pm.
