Victims of the Falls Township shootings in Pennsylvania have been identified as 52-year-old Karen Gordon, who is the stepmother of the suspect, Andre Gordon, along with 25-year-old Taylor Daniel and 13-year-old Kera Gordon, who is Andre Gordon’s sister.
Andre Gordon, who was driving a stolen vehicle, fatally shot stepmother Karen Gordon and Kera Gordon in their home, Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said at a Saturday afternoon news conference.
Three other people were in the home and successfully hid from Gordon during the attack, according to Schorn.
Following the shooting, Gordon went to Edgewood Lane, where he fatally shot 25-year-old Taylor Daniel, with whom he has two children.
Four other people were inside the home, including Daniel’s mother, who was injured by Gordon and is currently being treated at a local hospital, said Schorn.
After the shootings, police say Gordon then carjacked a 44-year-old driver at gunpoint in the parking lot of a Dollar General on Bristol Pike in Morrisville. The driver was not injured, according to police.
The carjacked Honda CRV was found abandoned in Trenton around 11:38 a.m., according to Falls Township Police.
Falls Township Police said that they believe Gordon knew all of the victims except for the driver. He is “believed to be currently homeless and has ties to the Trenton, New Jersey, area,” they added in a statement. At the Saturday news conference, police said it had “minimal contact” with Gordon in the past.
“The suspect is believed to be in a house on Phillips Ave in Trenton,” Trenton Police Detective Lt. Lisette Rios said. “The residents have been successfully evacuated with no injuries. At this time FBI resources are on standby while the ATF, NJSP, Mercer County Rapid Response Team and Mercer County Homicide Task Force are also on scene with the Trenton Police Department.”
Police say Gordon is approximately 6’1”, with a thin build, and was last observed wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.
“He is believed to be in possession of an assault rifle which he used to commit these crimes. It is believed that Gordon may be in possession of additional weapons,” the Falls Township Police statement adds.
