FAIRLESS HILLS, Pa. — Update: Police are looking for the suspect in two fatal shootings early Saturday morning in Falls Township, Bucks County.

According to police, officers were called to Viewpoint Lane in Levittown just before 9 a.m. for a reported shooting.

Police say Andre Gordon, 26, shot and killed two people inside a home.

Just a few minutes later, Gordon shot and killed another person in Edgewood Lane before driving away from the scene in a stolen vehicle.

At around 9:13 a.m., Gordon carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint in the parking lot of a Dollar General in Morrisville, police say.

Fortunately, the driver was not injured.

Police say they believe Gordon knew all of his victims except for the carjacking victim.

Gordon is homeless and has ties to the Trenton, New Jersey area.

He was last seen in a 2016 dark gray Honda CRV with Pa. registration KFR1534, and a "Namaste" sticker in white lettering on the right side of the rear bumper.

Gordon is described as being 6 feet 1 inch tall, and thin. He was last seen wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.

Police say Gordon is armed with an assault rifle and may have other weapons as well.

Authorities warn Gordon is extremely dangerous and should not be approached. Anyone who sees him or the vehicle is asked to call 911 immediately. 

Previous: Authorities have issued a shelter-in-place order following the shooting of multiple people in a suburban Philadelphia township.

Middletown Township police said Saturday morning that there were “confirmed shootings” in neighboring Falls Township that resulted in “several gunshot victims.”

Police said it wasn’t known yet if the shootings were “targeted or random.”

U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican who represents Bucks County, said in social media posts that there had been “a carjacking and a shooting in two sections of Falls Township.”

He said he was “in touch with law enforcement officials as they pursue the suspect.”

Bucks County issued a shelter-in-place order around 9:30 a.m. Saturday. Police said Oxford Valley Mall and Sesame Place were told to close until further notice. The area’s Target store and other businesses chose to close as well.

The county’s scheduled St. Patrick’s Day parade was also canceled following the shelter-in-place order. 

Further details about the shootings weren't immediately released.
