TRENTON, N.J. — A man suspected of killing three people in the Philadelphia area was arrested in New Jersey on Saturday after an hourslong standoff, police said.
The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Andre Gordon Jr., killed his stepmother, his teenage sister and the mother of his children in shootings that stretched into two homes in eastern Pennsylvania’s Falls Township in the morning, Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said. After fleeing in a stolen car, then taking another in a carjacking in a store parking lot, Gordon holed up in a home in nearby Trenton, New Jersey, authorities said. By midafternoon, officers surrounded the house on a taped-off block, calling to Gordon through a loudspeaker and trying to persuade him to come out.Neighbors gathered by the barricade to watch what was happening. The home’s residents had been taken to safety with no injuries, the Trenton Police Department said.
Shaun Murphy, who lives in Levittown, said he was headed to the local St. Patrick’s Day parade when he saw that the road had been blocked.
