<p>A shocking incident in Philadelphia, captured on camera, shows a woman shooting at a seven-month-old baby due to a $100 drug debt.

US: Woman opens fire on a 7-month-old baby over $100 debt in Philadelphia

<p>A manhunt for a suspect involved in the fatal shootings of three people outside a Philadelphia-area suburb ended after authorities arrested 26-year-old Andre Gordon from New Jersey. The man reportedly barricaded himself after killing his 52-year-old stepmother, Karen Gordon, his 13-year-old sister Kera Gordon and the mother of his children, 25-year-old Taylor Daniel, authorities said, who had launched the search operation Saturday morning (Mar 16).</p>

<p>He is also believed to have used a rifle to bludgeon Daniel’s mother. Police said three other people were found hidden in Gordon’s stepmother and sister’s house and the killer searched the property.</p>

<p>Associated Press reported that Gordon executed the killings in Falls Township, Buck County, in two separate incidents.</p>

<p>Bucks County District Attorney, Jennifer Schorn, said the suspect didn’t have any weapon at the time of his arrest.</p>

<h2><strong>Residents were ordered to take shelter</strong></h2>

<p>On Saturday morning, residents of the Falls Township, one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Pennsylvania, were asked to take shelter in their homes as the manhunt continued.</p>

<p>Speaking at a news conference, the Falls township police chief Nelson Whitney said that there was “nothing that would indicate that anything like this would happen”, the Associated Press reported.</p>
