FALLS TWP., Pennsylvania – A harrowing incident unfolded as Nancy Daniel bravely fought off a gunman accused of a killing spree that left three individuals dead, including his 13-year-old sister, in Pennsylvania before carjacking a driver and fleeing to New Jersey over the weekend.
The tragic events began on March 16 when 26-year-old Andre Gordon Jr. broke into a home in Edgewood Lane, ultimately taking the lives of 25-year-old Taylor Daniel, the mother of his two daughters. Nancy, Taylor’s mother, vividly recalls the terrifying moment when Gordon entered the home with a gun, prompting her daughter to protect her children at all costs.
After the shootings, Nancy courageously intervened, hitting Gordon with an axe handle before he retaliated by striking her with a rifle and fleeing the residence. Gordon then proceeded to carjack a driver at a Dollar General, escaping with the stolen vehicle.
Earlier that morning, Gordon had committed a heinous act in Levittown, where he murdered his 52-year-old stepmother, Karen Gordon, and his young sister, Kera Gordon. Surveillance footage captured him using a rifle to break into the home, setting off a tragic chain of events that would eventually lead to a manhunt for the suspect.
Law enforcement authorities worked tirelessly to locate Gordon, who was later found barricaded with hostages inside a residence in Trenton. Despite his attempts to evade capture by altering his appearance, Gordon was eventually apprehended and now faces a multitude of charges in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Investigators discovered that Gordon had utilized a ghost gun, an untraceable firearm assembled from online-purchased parts, during the carjackings and killings. As legal proceedings unfold, the community is left reeling from the tragic loss of life and the ongoing search for justice in the aftermath of the horrific events.
