they have actually been asking 26 year-old andriy gordon, who's barricaded himself inside the home police believe he is by himself inside that home here and tread new jersey and there are asking him again just now to step out of the home with his hands up to essentially surrender and again, this is happening right now. this is as close as we can take you and as we monitor the situation and listen for any more developments, fred, i can tell you that that house that he he's actually believed to be inside is just down the street. you may be able to make it an ambulance. his past a stop sign. if you take a left, that is where the home is. so i would say i'm about maybe 150 yards or so from the house and question neighbors behind the yellow tape, been asked to remain inside but on the other side of the yellow tape clearly certainly drawing some other people out to see. this is anything but a normal saturday for the folks in this was usually described as a quiet trenton neighborhood. what we know oh, again, as we still listen for developments, is that andriy gordon, according to investigators t

the suspect is identified as 26 year-old andriy gordon. police alleged that he killed two people in one home and falls township pencil lena, his stepmother, and his 13 year-old sister. he then allegedly drove to another home and shot and killed the mother of his two children and bludgeoned her mother with his assault rifle. they allege he then carjack to vehicle and fled to trenton cnn's polo sandoval is standing not far from where the house where gordon is supposedly barricaded inside. polo. what are you seeing right now? >> polo give you a lay of the land in just a few moments. but first, remember it has now been four hours since police here in trenton, new jersey receive that report that the man believed to have been involved in that triple shooting that you just laid out with barricaded inside a home in this neighborhood that we're standing in at the sour, which is just beyond the yellow tape here we do have several layers of yellow tape several law enforcement officials between us and the home. so we're in a relatively safe area to be

here's a suspect, 26 year-old, andriy gordon with me right now, cali stimson, he was assistant us attorney for violent crime the washington, dc us attorney's office, and prosecuted homicides in dc and maryland. i'm so glad that you're able to be with us now to just give us some familiarity about how negotiations will be ongoing now, apparently all the hostages are residents of that duplex, have now been evacuated safely that's great news. but negotiations continue possibly with the suspect how do you envision that is happening? how are they communicating with the suspect and by what means and what do you believe is possibly being said to an individual who has it was being accused of a sequence of erratic behavior >> yeah. i think as your previous guests said that goal here is to dial the temperature down, speak in a calm, cool, and collected way his family is probably provided the law enforcement his cell phone numbers are using bull horns or some other means to communication and trying to get the guy to engage and try to rationalize with him that it's in his best interest to turn himself

that andriy gordon was apparently trying to sneak out of the perimeter out of the house and was picked up, moving somewhere near the house, trying to basically blend in and walk away. now, obviously they had 360 degree containment, but they also had to maintain cover because this was an individual with a high powered weapon but somebody picked up on this, grabbed him up, confirmed his identity, and then to confirm the rest of that, they move their armored vehicle up to the front door. a team went into clear the house to make sure that a everyone in there was okay and that there was no additional victims are hostages, or someone hiding and be that there was he was no longer in there and that they can recover that weapon. so what you saw was kind of a great exhaling at the scene you saw people's posture change. you saw people coming out of the house, you saw the yellow tape coming down. but what we are told as he's in custody that he is unharmed and that as bolo said, now, this shifts from a tactical operation a barricade situation with an arm suspect to backtracking through the evidence
