A homeless man who shot and killed three relatives — including his 13-year-old sister — and carjacked a bystander in Pennsylvania Saturday morning was taken into custody after barricading himself inside a home in a nearby New Jersey town, officials said.
Andre Gordon, 26, allegedly drove a stolen vehicle from Trenton to Falls Township in Bucks County, Pa., where he broke into a home sometime after 8 a.m., Jen Schorn with the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said.
Gordon then reportedly shot and killed his stepmother, 52-year-old Karen Gordon, and his 13-year-old sister, Kera Gordon, Schorn said.
Three other relatives — including another minor — managed to hide while Gordon stormed through the house looking for them, she added.
