Authorities revealed that Gordon, believed to be homeless, started his day by carjacking a vehicle in Trenton before driving approximately 40 miles to Levittown, a suburb of Philadelphia. Once there, he allegedly shot and killed his 52-year-old stepmother and 13-year-old sister.
According to Bucks County district attorney Jennifer Schorn, three other individuals in the house, including a minor, managed to hide as Gordon searched for them. However, he proceeded to another nearby residence, where he fatally shot a 25-year-old woman, believed to be the mother of his two children, and assaulted her mother.
After carjacking another vehicle in Levittown, Gordon fled back to Trenton, where he barricaded himself in a three-story house. Police, aware that he was armed with an AR-15 style assault rifle, urged him to surrender peacefully for several hours.
