We have tremendous resources that have been devoted to investigating and preventing further criminal acts from this individual and then we will answer questions. Good afternoon, everyone. This was an Outstanding Team mastered by the lawenforcement in bucks county but in addition to District Attorneys office, we had assistance from the Pennsylvania State police, the borough of alcohol and firearms and the Federal Bureau Of Investigation but we have help from all of our committees that sent representatives to a staging area while this incident was still dynamic and unfolding to investigate reports that were coming and and assist us in securing the three different crime scene we had here.

Out of caution we wanted to keep everyone safe i think the community did a great job in honoring that [ Inaudible Question ] we will provide that off the record. Thank you, i appreciate your time thanks, everyone. We are covering two situations that what you are looking at right now is an active scene right there. That is the home that was referenced by the Press Conference by the District Attorney in bucks county as well as the chief of police. You see Police Officials are on the roof of that house. They are trying to bring out any hostages that may be held there against their will as result of 26yearold andre gordon, who is accused of killing three people earlier. We will go through those that he killed. The first two were at a home. His 52yearold stepmother along with his 13yearold sister. And then he went to a second residence where he killed the 25yearold mother of his two children and used an ar 15 style Assault Weapon to bludgeon a woman, the mother of his 25yearold the mother of his two children. She is expected to recover from her injuries. Let us go right now to george the lease. You are at the second location in trenton. What are you seeing there and how many people have you been able to count that has been brought out safely . Is there any hostages still inside . Reporter i just got here a few minutes ago. The Police Presence is heavy. We are actually able to give you a good Vantage Point of the number of police from the neighboring jurisdiction. You have from high town, ewing township, where the situation is ongoing. You also have a number of people that have come out of their homes to watch all of this unfold. We heard that Press Conference wrap up as you did right now. This is still an ongoing situation. A moment ago i was in touch with trenton pd who tells me theyre currently investigating related to Falls Township there working right now with the fbi and state police and the township. To try and bring this to a peaceful resolution. You heard very briefly during that Press Conference that authority did mention they had some contact with this individual in the past but nothing that would escalate to what we are seeing unfolding right now. As far as what we can see, still very much ongoing and very fluid right now. We just got here a little bit ago. We are getting a sense of what is unfolding right now. Things kind of At A Standstill right now. Very hard to get in and out of the neighborhood in trenton. You can see the police tape and a Police Officer in the distance keeping the situation calm. They have not told us to move away from the scene or to seek cover from where we are right now. Obviously, because this is such a fluid and ongoing situation that could change at any moment. We will continue to bring updates as they become available im curious about the part that you have not been warned to be safe. You know, according to the News Conference that we listen to, that the 26yearold suspect, andre gordon, has four weapons, at least, in his possession. One of them being an ar15 style rifle and another being a long shotgun. You would think that they would say, folks, all you residents stay inside. Have you heard any shots transpiring . I know you just got there but have you heard anything that indicates imminent danger . Reporter not at this moment. We have not heard any kind of flashbang or anything that would indicate there trying to coach the suspect out of the home. It seems that when you have a scene like this as soon as things get active, people would not be out on the street like this. They would be far away and move this perimeter farther back. It is telling to a sense that police may have a bit of a good grasp on what the situation is. We are still gathering information and there might be more happening behind the scenes as there usually is. In a moment we are seeing this heavy Police Presence and the situation sort of status quo. It is fluid and evolving. We see traffic moving across the street with police are getting people in and out of this neighborhood. As soon as any information becomes available, we will let you know if the situation changes. I know you well. I will ask you to stay there on the scene and keep your mic and camera hot. I bring into the conversation right now a rescue team and former fbi supervisor, rob damico. I assume you have been listening to the News Conference and my back and forth with george. Give me your best guess to how all this unfold it and what you expect to happen next. Let us go to right now. What are they doing right now . There is some movement out there that you normally dont see outside of barricaded situations especially with him in possession of a long gun, like an ar15. They may have cornered him down in the basement and they understand he does not have any views out into the street. Or it is they come on board and they have gotten in there. They may have heard one gunshot that indicated he has done something to himself and theyre trying to safely look at getting robots in their or other nonhuman type things in there to confirm that. Or it could be, he is penned into a corner of the house where he does not have access to windows. They are setting up a perimeter to keep him in as tight as they can, if they know where he has. Theyre going to move every one out that they can print and do not let that number go out. It is a tactical number. He may have known how many people were in the house to begin with. If you tell to get out, it could give it away. They are working on that. You saw them on the roof and theyre doing it in a safe and efficient manager. There is an Emergency Team getting ready with a s. W. A. T. Team. They do not have a good plan but they are Emergency Assault Part if something goes bad with a hostage and shooting starts they are the ones that came take the door down and go inside to rescue the hostage bird it is not the best situation. There is another team working on a deliberate assault that is getting blueprints of the area to start looking at doors and how to go in there should it happen. The other thing is happening is negotiating team. If they believe he is in there and i live, even if they think he may be dead, negotiating teams are getting together and getting information from The Other Two scenes because it is important how they deal with them. Sometimes they will have a victims mother call in but with this being a domestic situation, you definitely dont want to do that. You do not understand the motives behind it. You do not want to bring someone in that that will pour gasoline on something that you are not sure about. If you look at the scenes, that tells you something too. He killed an older woman and his sister and those related to him. He was hunting the other ones, someone had set in that Press Conference. For anyone who is just joining us, let me remind folks of who we know is deceased at the hands of this 26yearold, andre gordon. A 52yearold woman, his stepmother and his 13yearold sister at the first location. And then he went to the second location and he killed the 25 yearold mother of his two children and assaulted with his ar15 style rifle, her mother. She is expected to recover from her injuries. Rob, i will have my director josh to wreak you video where we showed from the Trenton House and the roof. There is somebody who got out of the house. There it is. Thank you so much, josh. You see someone gingerly getting to a ladder, probably does not go out on the roof like this on a daily occasion that person could be pivotal, providing information with what is going on inside as were also watching another Police Officer go in on the second floor, rob. Im not sure if that house is a duplex or if they have him pinned in a location with him having access to the other windows otherwise that would be a dangerous move you probably see more Police Affair with bulletproof blankets and such regarding that window that is open. It tells me they kind of have a situation where they know where he is at in the house and he does not have movement up to those areas. Not that that Police Officer is not there for an emergency but it says they have some axis. I do not understand i would have to look at the building to see if it is a duplex and they are getting out the other side but they are doing it right in front of the one on the right. It is kind of like, they know what is going on. They perceive that it is safe enough to do it this way without any other protections that you are seeing on the people. You can always put a bulletproof blanket and have that carrot in front of the civilian trying to get out. You know what robert im going to ask as possible for our Control Booth to drop that lower third banner just for a moment. We could get a better look thanks, guys look at the front to see if this is a duplex sidebyside home or not. I cannot tell 100 for sure but it kind of looks like there are two separate front doors went at the left edge of your screen of that property, guys. And then another one that is centrally located. To your point, rob, it appears that somebody got out of the left if this is a duplex the left home and walked across to that ladder. That means maybe it is on the right side. He may be on the left side in the back. Somehow, they have pinned him down that location or in the basement or something. Or, like i said, something may have happened in the house. He has some attachment to it and they talk about that being some type of family connection. He may have gone somewhere, they heard a gunshot and no movement out of that room. They brought Police Officers in and barricaded that until they can figure out. We have drones that we can fly in the house to take a look before you send a human in and maybe even a dog after the drone or the robot. It tells me they kind of have a location for him. If they heard a gunshot with no movement so far, they are getting everyone out until they can get there as safe as they can and start inquiry if he is alive. My Executive Producer has set in my ear based on at least three if not four people getting out. We sell one person being taken away a little earlier been this video. That person, Civilian Clothing was being ushered away by someone in law enforcement. We see a Second Person Climbing down the ladder. At least two we could get on tape. How long will Something Like this take to resolve itself if the suspect has indeed killed himself and is holed up somewhere . The key is safety of others. If he was in that room with somebody el
