TRENTON, NJ – A quadruple shooting in Bucks County that left three people dead, including a young girl, ended in Trenton, New Jersey, today.

In Falls Township, Pennsylvania, a violent rampage left three people dead on Saturday morning, prompting a widespread manhunt. The chaos began on Viewpoint Lane just before 9 a.m., where Andre Gordon Jr., 26, allegedly forced his way into a home and fatally shot his 52-year-old stepmother, Karen Gordon, and 13-year-old sister, Kera Gordon.

Gordon then fled in a stolen vehicle, previously carjacked in Trenton, after fatally shooting Taylor Daniel, 25, at another residence on Edgewood Lane. Authorities reported that one person was injured by Gordon with a rifle during this incident.

The search intensified when Gordon carjacked another vehicle at gunpoint outside a Dollar General on Bristol Pike in Morrisville. Despite fleeing the scene, the car was later found unoccupied in Trenton, leading SWAT teams to converge on a nearby home where Gordon was believed to have barricaded himself. Concerns arose about potential hostages, but residents were eventually confirmed safe, with Gordon’s arrest following around 5 p.m.

Throughout the day, law enforcement officers surrounded the house, employing loudspeakers to communicate with Gordon, until his eventual surrender.
