A Pennsylvania town is under lockdown and its St. Patrick’s Day parade was canceled following a possible carjacking that killed three people — and the armed suspect remains at large.
The suspect, 26-year-old Andre Gordon, allegedly shot and killed two people at or near a residence in the Levittown area of Falls Township around 8:50 a.m. Saturday, FOX 29’s Steve Keeley reported.
A few minutes later, Gordon shot and killed another person on a different block before fleeing the scene, Keeley said, citing official reports.

Gordon then carjacked a person at gunpoint in the parking lot of a Dollar General, Keeley wrote.
The carjacking victim did not suffer any injuries, he noted.
Gordon was last seen driving a 2016 dark gray Honda CRV with a Pennsylvania license plate KFR 1534 and a “Namaste” sticker on the right rear bumper. He is about 6’1″ and wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.
He is thought to be carrying an assault rifle that he used in the deadly shootings.

Police in Trenton found the stolen vehicle shortly before noon on Friday, Keeley reported.
SWAT teams were setting up an entry to a house near where the car was found, he said, citing law enforcement sources.
Police described the alleged shooter — who is believed to have known all three of the deceased — as “extremely dangerous.”

The spree is “domestic-related,” and the three victims “were killed at two different residences,” Jeff Dence, chairman of the town’s board of supervisors, told CNN.
Gordon is believed to be homeless but has ties to the Trenton, New Jersey, area.
Local police have requested additional resources from around Bucks County, as well as the Pennsylvania and New Jersey State Police, he added.
The Falls Township Police Department was not immediately available to comment on the situation.
The shelter-in-place order canceled the town’s St. Patrick’s Day parade. Local businesses were also closed as residents were urged to stay inside.
