Wilson said he believed that Gordon had fled the area before a secure perimeter was set up earlier in the day.
“We still had to act as if he’s in that house. If there’s a suspect who is possibly armed, you have to do it methodically,” he said.
Witnesses to the arrest said Gordon attempted to flee, but he quickly surrendered by dropping to the ground and gun-carrying lawmen surrounded him near Capital Health Regional Medical Center.

Police will be searching for weapons possibly used or linked to Gordon, Wilson said, adding the investigation was still active.
Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora said the hours-long police operation outside the Phillips Avenue home led to officers having to quickly remove several neighbors. He said all of those people were safe.
UPDATED: 12:50 p.m., Saturday:

The suspect accused of fatally shooting three family members Saturday morning remained barricaded in a Trenton rowhome that was surrounded by tactical officers as of 3 p.m.

The suspect – identified as 26-year-old Andre Gordon – previously resided in the Levittown section of Falls Township and in Trenton. Currently homeless, Gordon is considered the primary suspect in the killings, according to authorities.

A 17-year-old Levittown boy has been charged as an adult in connection with an armed robbery that took place last month, authorities said.
The teen was preliminarily arraigned on charges including robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, possession of a weapon, and related offenses last week before District Judge Frank Peranteau Sr.
The boy, whose name has been withheld due to his age, was released on bail after a family member posted 10 percent of the $50,000 set by the district judge.
The alleged robbery occurred on August 12 at the intersection of Otter and Maple streets in Bristol Borough, police said.

Out driving, out hunting for their victim's bike to steal.
A person reported being robbed at gunpoint by a suspect who got out of a black sedan and threatened him with a handgun, demanding his bicycle,
police said.
The bicyclist initially resisted but surrendered the bicycle after the suspect made a threat and forcibly took it before riding off, police said.
Investigators said they used posts on Instagram and Snapchat where the stolen bicycle was advertised for sale.
The social media accounts were traced back to the suspect, identified as a student at Neshaminy High School, police said.
Police recovered the bicycle from the buyer’s residence in Cobalt Ridge neighborhood, with cooperation from the buyer’s mother, authorities said.
During interviews with minors involved in the purchase, one admitted to buying the bike directly from the 17-year-old boy, police said.
