There was a spree killing by an assailant armed with an AR-15 rifle, but the media attention will evaporate by Monday for an obvious reason: it doesn’t fit the narrative.
Meanwhile, it doesn’t make this story any less disturbing or tragic.
On Saturday, Andre Gordon, 26, shot and killed three people in two separate locations in Pennsylvania before absconding to Trenton, New Jersey, leading to a police siege at a residence.
Yet, it was soon determined that Gordon wasn’t home.
He was arrested at a nearby hospital after being spotted.
His first target was his stepmother’s house in Levittown, Pennsylvania, getting there after a carjacking in Trenton.
He then shot and killed his stepmother and 13-year-old sister.
He later went to another residence in the area, where he shot and killed the mother of his two children.
Following the murders, Gordon carjacked another vehicle to slip across the border into New Jersey again.
