Fatal Triple Shooting Suspect Appearing In Lower Bucks Court

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —The man accused of killing three family members during a March rampage in Falls Township is scheduled to have his preliminary hearing in a Bucks County courtroom on Wednesday.

The preliminary hearing for Andre Gordon Jr., 26, a homeless Trenton, N.J., man, is expected to be held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Bucks County Justice Center, Courtroom 410.

Gordon is charged with 32 counts by Bucks County authorities, including three counts of first-degree murder, and three counts of second-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting.

Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said that she would seek the death penalty against Gordon due to the multiple first-degree murder charges, authorities said.

Authorities said that Gordon forcibly broke into one home and killed his 52-year-old stepmother, Karen Gordon, and 13-year-old sister, Kera Gordon, before going to another home and killing Taylor Daniel, the mother of his two children.

He then held New Jersey police in a standoff in which he barricaded himself in a Trenton, N.J., home for several hours.

Gordon faces charges of first-degree carjacking, second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, second-degree unlawful possession of an assault firearm, and four other offenses by New Jersey officials.
