NextImg:Suspected Shooter Barricaded With Hostages After Alleged Killing Spree; SWAT Team On Scene

A 26-year-old suspect is barricaded with several hostages in Trenton, New Jersey, after he allegedly shot and killed three people in Falls Township, Pennsylvania, and stole a vehicle at gunpoint.

Police believe the suspect, who is not being named in accordance with Daily Wire policy, knew each of the three victims that he allegedly killed, CNN reported. Residents of Falls Township, which is just a few miles south of Trenton, were told to shelter in place as authorities searched for the suspect. The shelter-in-place order for Falls Township was lifted after police found the suspect in Trenton.

“We are investigating a spree killing that took place in the township this morning,” Jeff Dence, chairman of the Falls Township Board of Supervisors, told CNN. “It is domestic related. Three people were killed at two different residences.”

Officers were first called to Viewpoint Lane in Levittown just before 9:00 a.m. Saturday where police said the suspect shot and killed two people who lived at the residence, according to Fox News. Just minutes later, he allegedly went to a home on Edgewood Lane, where he shot and killed another person. The suspect then allegedly carjacked a person at gunpoint in a Dollar General parking lot before driving to Trenton. Police said that he did not know the carjacking victim, and the victim was not injured.

Police added that the suspect is “believed to be currently homeless and has ties to the Trenton, New Jersey, area.” He is considered to be “extremely dangerous.”

“He is believed to be in possession of an assault rifle which he used to commit these crimes. It is believed that the suspect may be in possession of additional weapons,” the Falls Township Police said in a statement.

The stolen vehicle was located and unoccupied on Miller Street in Trenton before police and a SWAT team surrounded the home where the suspect is believed to be barricaded with hostages.
