Trenton mayor says police are now looking for possible weapon or more information on suspect
Trenton, New Jersey, Mayor Reed Gusciora provided more details after a suspect who police say shot and killed three people in a nearby Pennsylvania township was taken into custody.
Authorities initially believed suspect Andre Gordon was barricaded inside a Trenton home, but police located him walking along a street in the city.
“The people who were inside the house, they went upstairs. They still felt that he was still in the house. So when they got out of the house on the upstairs window, they told police that he was still downstairs. We couldn’t take any chances, and it was still a great resolution by the area law enforcement,” he said in an interview with CNN’s Polo Sandoval at the scene.
“They found him two blocks away walking down the street,” the mayor said.
“He fit the description and they approached him; he had no weapon on him, and he cooperated and gave his identity to police themselves,” he continued.
Officers executed a search warrant at the home and are looking for a weapon or any other information, Gusciora said.
The mayor said neighbors are relieved, and the city is working with residents who lived in surrounding duplexes to make sure they have a place to stay after police used tear gas in the area.
“Trentonians stick together. It’s one big family here.There’s a lot of camaraderie and they cooperated fully with the police, and we’re just really grateful for a safe and peaceful outcome,” he said.
