At least three people have died, and a shelter-in-place order has been set after an active shooter report in Falls Township, Pennsylvania.
Officials have reported that on Saturday morning, there were “several” gunshot victims in Falls Township.
“There are several gunshot victims, and it is unknown at this time if they are targeted or random,” the police said in the post. “MTPD is monitoring our traffic and borders, and it does not seem that the shooter has entered our township limits.”
In the wake of the shootings, some businesses and an amusement park in the Middletown area have voluntarily closed, according to the police.

A man has barricaded himself with several hostages in Trenton, New Jersey, after killing three people in Falls Township, Pennsylvania, Saturday morning, according to local officials.
“We are investigating a spree killing that took place in the township this morning,” Jeff Dence, chairman of the town’s board of supervisors, told CNN. “It is domestic related. Three people were killed at two different residences.”
Police have identified the suspect as 26-year-old Andre Gordon.
“The suspect is believed to be in the house on Phillips Ave in Trenton. The residents have been successfully evacuated with no injuries,” Detective Lieutenant Lisette Rios of the Trenton Police Department confirmed. “At this time FBI resources are on standby while the ATF, NJSP, Mercer County Rapid Response Team and Mercer County Homicide Task Force are also on scene with the Trenton Police Department.”
That said, if one isolates the violent gun deaths and adjusts for population size by expressing the rate as the number of homicides per 100k people, the list changes significantly.

He has just the slightest resemblance to O-Dog from Menace to Society.
