Tragic Shooting Incident in Philadelphia Suburb Leads to Hostage Situation in New Jersey

By -

 A gunman was barricaded in a Trenton, New Jersey, residence with hostages Saturday morning after killing three people in a shooting spree in the Philadelphia suburb of Falls Township that prompted a shelter-in-place, according to local police.


Law enforcement officials in Bucks County have identified 26-year-old Andre Gordon as the suspect, alleging that Gordon shot and killed two people at a residence in the community of Levittown Saturday morning, and then shot and killed a third person at another location before carjacking a Honda CRV and fleeing—the carjacked driver was uninjured, according to the Falls Township Police Department.

The Falls Township Police Department initially issued a shelter-in-place, but lifted it around 12:25 p.m., Lieutenant Chris Clark told the media in an email.

The stolen vehicle was found in Trenton at 11:38 a.m., and at 12:22 p.m., the Falls Township Police Department was informed that Gordon was allegedly barricaded in a Trenton residence with hostages—-Noire TV has contacted the Trenton City Police Department for more information.

Police said it is believed Gordon knew all victims except the owner of the stolen car.

The shooting and resulting shelter-in-place led to the cancellation of a Bucks County St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and the nearby Middletown Township Police Department had initially asked the local mall to close, and reported that several other retail establishments had chosen to close.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.

The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.
