A young mother desperately called 911 before she was allegedly gunned down
by a man charged with killing three people over the weekend and her mother tried to fend him off with an ax handle, Pennsylvania court documents said Monday.

Andre Gordon Jr., 26, is accused of killing three family members and
leading police on a chase across state lines over the weekend.

He has been charged with murder in Pennsylvania and carjacking and weapons offenses in New Jersey.

He had two children with Taylor Daniel, 25, who was fatally shot Saturday morning in Levittown, Pennsylvania, according to an arrest affidavit.
Daniel had called 911 just before she was killed, authorities said.

"The caller was identified as Taylor and the caller identified the male
subject as 'Andre Gordon,'" the affidavit said.

Officers arrived at the house at 5 Edgewood Lane at 9:05 a.m. and
discovered "Taylor Daniel had suffered a gunshot wound and was pronounced
dead at the scene," the document said.

Daniel's brother John and mother, Nancy, were in the house when she was
killed, Falls Township police said.

"Nancy stated that she heard gunshots, after which she exited her bedroom
and began to hit Andre Gordon Jr. with a wooden ax handle," police said.
"At that point, Andre Gordon Jr. struck Nancy in the head with a rifle,
causing a laceration to the head."

Minutes earlier, at 8:52 a.m., Falls Township police arrived at 45
Viewpoint Lane to find the bodies of Karen Gordon and another victim,
known only as KG, the affidavit said.

"Both subjects had suffered gunshot wounds and were deceased upon police arrival," the affidavit said.

Bucks County prosecutors had identified the victims on Viewpoint Lane as
the suspect's stepmother, Karen Gordon, 52, and his 13-year-old sister,
Kera Gordon.

Ring doorbell video "shows Andre Gordon Jr." appearing to "point the rifle
into the residence through the broken window," according to the affidavit.

The suspect's father argued with him at Viewpoint Lane before he closed
the door, authorities said.

"Andre Sr. opened the front door of the residence and confronted Andre
Jr.," the affidavit said. "After a verbal exchange, Andre Sr. closed the
door and went to his room to get dressed. At that point, while displaying
a rifle, Andrew Jr. began to hit the front door of the residence, causing
glass to break on the door. Andre Sr. then heard what he believed to be gunshots in the residence. Andre Sr. remained in his room until the
arrival of police."

The suspect fled to Trenton, New Jersey, where he was captured later in
the day, authorities said.

He was being held in New Jersey on Monday, and it wasn't immediately clear whether he had hired or been assigned a lawyer to speak on his behalf.
