According to reports, at least four people were killed, three of them fatally, in three different locations.

Police first responded to Viewpoint Lane in Falls Township just before 9 a.m. for a report of a shooting.
According to police, Gordon shot and killed two people at a home on the block and fled in a stolen vehicle. He then drove to Edgewood Lane at around 9am and fatally shot a third person before fleeing the scene.
Then, around 9:15 a.m., police say they carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint in the parking lot of a Dollar General on Bristol Pike in Morrisville. The driver of that vehicle was not injured.
Gordon is reportedly homeless, with ties to New Jersey, and is believed to have known all of the victims.
