He carjacked the vehicle at gunpoint. Let’s go to NBC’s George celisse in the area. He joins us on the phone. Let’s talk about what we know about the suspect and the victims. What is the timeline here?”

SOLIS: “Alex. Of fluid and developing scene. What we are hearing from police sources, is the suspect is currently tracked to home in winds, New Jersey. And neck area he has ties to it appears that s.w.a.t. And the police to permanent on the scene. L back it up for how we ended up here. To false township police, just before 9:00 this morning they were dispatched to a home. It is roughly an hour away from Philadelphia. Be determined and verified the shooting suspect as 26-year-old andre gordon, who they said was driving a stolen car. He killed two people at this home. Following the shooting at home, he moved to a new area in the stolen car present monthly, and shot another person. A few minutes later, he carjacked a person at gunpoint at a nearby dollar general in bristol. This all happening relatively close in park city. That person fortunately is not suffering any injuries according to authorities. Police say, it appears gordon the suspect, knew all the victims except the one involved in the car jumping. They believe he has ties to the winds area, which may bring us to why we are seeing these images over winds right now at this home. It is where we are told they recovered the stolen vehicle which was last described as a honda crv with Pennsylvania plates. A number stay – namaste sticker on the back bumper. And police with looking photos of andre gordon. Discovered, 6’1 with a thin wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt again, police telling us it does appear that all of the people killed seem to have a connection to the suspect. Except the person carjacked. All of this commenting in winds. We are working to get details. To find out who was shot and why they may have been shot. We know for while in false township, there was a lockdown issued in place. Some of the recreational areas, like the parade, or canceled because of the shooting. A lot of people on high alert. Resolutely, we know a number of agencies are involved in this investigation. We have not confirmed if atp that atf will come out, as we usually see in the shootings this is obviously very harrowing and developing and it is an ongoing situation Alex.”

WITT: “cCouple of questions George. First of all, with and how much time did it take place in false township? An hour or two hours? Secondly, do you know how far away false township is from winds, New Jersey. I am curious how long it would take to flee, presumably at high-speed on the highway. Lastly, do we know if the suspect has any sort of a criminal history?”

SOLIS: “Question. This all seems to have happened relatively soon. Looking at the information I have, this all happened within the 9:00 hour. The first call coming in at 8 152 this morning. You hear about the shooting roughly around 9:01 and the second scene of the shooting was at 9:13 this morning. Your last question, it is close in proximity. With a vehicle you could get into winds, depending on the area, roughly within 20 to 25 minutes or so. Right now, it does appear the suspect has a criminal history, given the have provided a booking photo. Just how extensive, our teams are still coming through his history. Given that he may have been known to authorities, it paints a picture them – there may have been one or two criminal records we need to look into closer. Overall, it all seems to have happened relatively soon this morning.”
