A gunman accused of fatally shooting his family members, including a 13-year-old girl, in Pennsylvania before fleeing to New Jersey was taken into custody without further incident, police said Saturday evening.
The suspected shooter, Andre Gordon, 26, allegedly carjacked a driver in Trenton to get to Levittown, Pennsylvania, where he's suspected of killing the victims at two locations Saturday morning, Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora said in an interview.
Police said he then carjacked another driver at gunpoint and fled to New Jersey, where he lives. Gusciora said SWAT team members and other officers surrounded the home and evacuated neighbors because people inside told authorities they believed Gordon was inside on the first floor.
Police were in stand-off mode, surrounding the residence and blocking off streets, but the suspect wasn't home.
"It’s apparent that he left before the police arrived," the mayor said. "The people that were still in the house on the second floor believed, and they relayed to them through 911 calls, that he was still downstairs."
