business with freelance ai experts >> i'm elizabeth wagmeister in los angeles, and this is cnn >> you are in the cnn newsroom. i'm paula reid in washington, breaking news, a dramatic standoff between police and a man accused of killing three people, right now, police say the suspect is barricade did inside a home in new jersey. we'll bring you the very latest plus >> mike pence cannot, in good conscience endorse his former boss. and he said as it's not just because of trump's actions on january 6, will trump
1:01 pm
respond to his former vice president at a rally just moments from now, at unpredictable and dangerous. that's how the us embassy in haiti describes the region under gang rule it's now ranging evacuation flights for us citizens out of the country. but that's only if they can reach the airport. cnn is on the ground with a live for and we start with that breaking news. a suspect in a triple homicide has barricaded himself inside a home in trenton, new jersey. the suspect does identified as 26 year-old andriy gordon, police alleged that gordon killed his stepmother and sister in one location in falls township, pennsylvania 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 the vehicle and fled to trenton cnn's polo sandoval is near the house where the suspect has barricaded himself in.
1:02 pm
>> polo. what are you seeing right now? >> paula, as we speak, there are signs of some potential movement right now at this trenton home where they believed the 26 year-old suspect and the triple murder earlier today, neighboring pennsylvania has been barricaded. we have been listening for the last roughly hours, so negotiators here on the ground pleading with 26 year-old andriy gordon to come out shirtless hands up police, assuring him that if he did so, he would not be hurt. and just seconds ago, paula as i listened to what's happening saw some sort of smoke coming from the area and some repeated banging noises that are coming from the area where that home is now, may or may not be directly linked to this. however, the area directly surrounding this duplex in this name broaden trenton has been
1:03 pm
blocked off since about 12th 30 this afternoon when they police here, received the report that the suspect involved in that triple shooting was likely barricaded inside that home with several resonance. now, eventually the residents in that home where you able to escape successfully, and that led us to this standoff that's going on about three hours now a little bit over over that, i should say, between police his and local, state and federal authorities that have been pleading with their suspect to bring this with a peaceful end to a peaceful end by either coming out with his hands up or or using a phone to dial 911 indicating that he intends to surrender so again, as we sort of take all this in right now and to see and monitor for any and significant potential developments. i can tell you that there are signs of some potential movement here as authorities are trying to bring this to a peaceful land and very quickly, let me just go
1:04 pm
back through the timeline. why and it was about 09:00 a.m. this morning when police believe gordon shot and killed two relatives about about miles south of here, neighboring penalty so vga and then made his way to a second home and it was after that police say that a car jacks the driver of an suv and then made the short drive here to trenton, new jersey and made his way into that home. police have not said have not made clear what that potential link might be between gorani then this home, though neighbors in the last several hours have told me that this is a place where folks could potentially rent rooms. and so there but wouldn't be surprising if we eventually learn that gordon potentially stay here at some point. but again, that brings us to this moment now about well-over three hours after the stand up started with trenton police along with other authorities, are trying to bring this to a peaceful end and detain and arrest the man who they believe
1:05 pm
shot and killed three people. people earlier today, paula >> well, as on of all standby, i want to bring in cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, john miller. john talk to us a little bit about how law enforcement is approaching this situation. >> well, paul, this is one of these things that starts out very fast. you've got multiple people shot. you've got a suspect involved in a car jacking. you've got a vehicle on the move but once they placed him in that building, that multiple dwelling house, and they got what they believe is all the other people out the whole object of the game then is to slow it down and to start that conversation now, the good news is they have been talking since they got there, telling andriy gordon is 26 year-old young man who is the suspect here to come out, that he's not going to be hurt, that they want to be safe too. they've talked to him about how to come out to take him into custody. the unfortunate part is this has not been an intimate conversation. it's been
1:06 pm
largely via a bullhorn we don't know if that's been a one-way conversation or whether he has been responding. they've asked him to call 911. i mean, paula in a hostage situation if you're the negotiator, even if it's just a barricade situation where the where the suspect has no hostage. you want that conversation to be one-on-one. you want it to be by phone or in-person, but you want that conversation to be direct. and two-way? at this point, it sounds like they are three hours into this. it sounds like they may be unable to make direct contact you can see the tactical people that were employed early on getting people out so at this point they have to consider the possibilities, which is he could take his own life. that is not the ending. they're looking for. >> they could >> convince him to come out. or at some point, not knowing what
1:07 pm
his status is, they might have to do a controlled entry to see if he's okay where he is? isn't what the situation is. and i think that's a little bit of what paulo is talking about now in terms of there is some movement there. so we'll have to watch that closely and see where that goes. >> it sounded pretty chaotic or pillow was how dangerous is this situation? >> well, it's very dangerous. you have an individual here with an ar-15 rifle. now runs a gun, a little one can kill you as quickly as a big one. but once you're talking about an assault weapon with two to three rounds are 765 rounds that's a very powerful round. you could shoot that and that can travel through walls, through other things. so it's a military style weapon. and as you can see from the pictures, this is a tight neighborhood. houses are close together garages and alleyways, not the kind of place you want any bullet traveling, let alone a high-powered right? rounds. so extraordinarily dangerous going
1:08 pm
into that environment or trying to control it with that outer perimeter and then the inner perimeter there is. you've got a good team there. you've got the trenton police, you've got the swat team, you've got the mercer county rapid response team, you've got federal authorities offering tools and assistance. so there are remote ways to work this with robots and other things that can give you a look around inside the house. and sometimes that's how you find out that the suspect is alive and still barricaded, or that the suspect is taken his own life it's better to start remote and stay remote if you can. >> but at >> some point, as she ramsay will tell you sometimes the circumstances don't allow that. and at some point you actually have to send regular human being cops with the best protective gear in the default is usually the time is on your side though, and to keep it slow i want to bring in sin and chief law enforcement analyst,
1:09 pm
chief charles ramsey. how do negotiators reason with someone who is already allegedly killed three people? >> well, i mean, it's very difficult. first of all, he's he's not rational you don't commit a triple homicide and be ranked sectional. so and it seems like it's been a one-sided conversation. they've been using a pa in order to communicate with this individual. so i'm john said it's not as if it's been a back-and-forth with this individual, at least that we know of so it makes it very, very difficult. >> polo >> mentioned that he heard a loud noises. i don't know if those are flash-bangs. he saw smoke. i don't know if that's gas we don't have eyes on it. so i really can't tell you what's going on now but apparently, there starting some kind of tactical response to try to terminate this particular situation. i think
1:10 pm
personally i'm a little surprised is little early because if you have no hostages and nobody in there, and just a suspect, time is on your side, but they make those decisions on the ground. they know more than i know >> i am not even sure if he's here, maybe it's pointing or the issue to, you know, when they got those people out, one of the first thing could you do is obviously debriefing but it took time for them to locate that house and they're really put a perimeter around it. whether he stayed there, whether they know he is in the building or not. that's always something that you have to take into account you know, sometimes we've had barricade or what we thought were barricades and had things around it and then only to find out that the suspect had managed to libra we had it before totally secured so we'll find out. we'll find out pretty quickly. i would imagine from the way things sound they are right now.
1:11 pm
>> but >> just hopefully, no one is injured. but this is going to be resolved one or two ways, either going to kill himself or he's going to surrender. and hopefully there's no more death involved in this. there's been enough cloth loss of wife already. so certainly and senior law enforcement analyst, andrew mccabe, how does the fact that they have multiple crime scenes across these two states >> complicate this investigation right now. >> well, it's a it's a complex investigation simply because of the array of criminal activity that's taking place across two states. but most of that activity are things that would be prosecuted at the state level are talking about homicides, carjackings are is of course a federal car jacking statute? but it is likely that state or local prosecutors in both pennsylvania and new jersey will conduct those prosecutions and the investigations that crime scene investigation and the other investigation they need to do to put those cases
1:12 pm
on. this is all if we walk away at the end of the day with a subject in custody which is chief ramsey just said is really only about a 50, 50 prospect at this point. now, we'll have to see i agree with john and chief ramsey that they are at the point where time is on their side usually at this point in the day, there's there's typically person a perceived advantage for law enforcement to basically hold the scene until nightfall because once under the cover of darkness, it's a little bit easier to get a tactical team up to the entrance of the breach point where the entrance of the building, without being i seen by the subject inside and with a weapon like an ar 15. anyone there's a large range around that building in which you could be struck with lethal fire from the inside with a weapon like that. so
1:13 pm
lots of things to consider. a little bit surprising to see if they try to resolve it right away. but we could be here for awhile. >> all right. everyone standby. we'll have more on this breaking news when we come back including or learning about the victims space shuttle columbia, the final flight premieres sunday, april 7 at nine >> on las vegas grant >> people would visit as for why do solutions? because t-mobile is helping our operations and experiences for hundreds of thousands of ban would reliable by jiekun activity. now's the time to accelerate sorry, your business >> sometimes jonah wrestles with falling asleep, so he takes z-grill, the world's number one brand, and wakes up feeling like himself get the rest to be your best with non habit forming z-grill. better days start with z equal nights >> the rise thank you.

1:18 pm
behind a triple homicide has barricaded himself inside a home in trenton, new jersey earlier, the bucks county district attorney describe what happened. let's take a listen >> preliminary investigation determined that 26 year-old andriy gordon driving a stolen vehicle, which was carjack from trenton, new jersey earlier in the morning forcibly broken to the residents after which he shot and killed his 52 year-old stepmother karen gordon& is 13 year-old sister, cara gordon, who lived at the residence. there were three other individuals at the residence including a minor inside the home who were able to hide and avoid being shot by gordon as he went through the house and searching for them. following the shootings at approximately 09:01 a.m. gordon drove to the unit block of edge wood lane levittown, where he forcibly broke into a residence. afterwards she shot and killed
1:19 pm
25-year-old taylor taylor, daniel, with whom he has two children at the time of the shooting, there were four other individuals present inside that home one of which was injured after being bludgeoned by gordon with the assault rifle she was transported to jefferson towards dau campus for her injuries at approximately 09:13 a.m. gordon committed a car jacking at gunpoint of a 44 year-old man from morris fill at the parking lot of the dollar general on bristol pike and morris bill, the operator of the vehicle, did not suffer any injuries please i want to bring back in our law enforcement panel, john miller, what is your reaction to what you just heard from the district attorney >> well, as chief ramsey said, you had an unhinged person who came in there with high-powered rifle who was obviously premeditated, lee intending to kill people. but interestingly, some people hid and that may be
1:20 pm
why they were spared. another person was hit with the rifle, but not shot. so apparently, he had his intended targets and those he was willing to let live as for his plan, he hijack the car to get away, which meant in his mind, he expected to escape he went to two different addresses this morning, but then fled to this location. now, this is what we don't know was he looking for additional victims at that location? was there another intended target or was he just trying to get home? and think of what to do next? and that is where dynamics change because the car is located 11, 38 by 12 p.m. this location you shouldn't is surrounded. then it becomes not a hostage situation because police are able to get all the people out. so it does not appear he made
1:21 pm
any effort to gather them around and hold them as collateral and then since that time and what has appeared to be a one-way conversation through a bull horns and pa systems. they've tried to engage him with a dialog and get him to come out and have not heard so as we discussed a little bit earlier, there probably engaged in what is the next step tactically to run the clock out or try to do a controlled probe to see how far they can see in either using technology or a tactical team into that house to determine is he still inside? or did he escape before the perimeter was dydt is he still alive or is he disabled through maybe a self-inflicted gunshot wound or something else? and if he is still alive, are they in a position to start that dialogue with him to get him outside, but right now, as of a few minutes ago, it didn't appear
1:22 pm
they had all that information and certainly at this moment, we don't >> and chief ramsey, what kind of information could they get from the people who were inside the home? >> well, i mean, first of all, do they know him and is there some connection their family or otherwise was he looking for a specific person? >> there? is john mentioned we don't know why he to that location. i don't want any went to two other locations, killed someone at both those locations. so why there wasn't another person he was hunting for or was he trying to seek some kind of shelter or something? we just don't know the answer to that. but they would debrief it in, get as much information as possible whether or not they believe he's still in the house. and if so, where is he didn't rear of the house because they you're able to get on the second floor, make entry and get people out. someone in that house apparent probably call 911, told them that they were
1:23 pm
upstairs. they were able to get them out safely obviously, if you're in the house on the first floor, you'd have to hear what's going on, yet they were able to make entry and get those people out safely. so whether or not he's still in that house is always something that you have to consider. but they certainly would have asked whether or not they believe he was there. how was he armed all those kinds of questions. one thing it's interesting. he's only killed or injured women so far. at both those locations. the one grandmother would you struck with the weapon, but there were males that were there now granted, they were supposedly hiding or whatever. i don't know if he had an opportunity to kill them male but this is definitely something that interests me to find out. the targets were all women and whether or not that
1:24 pm
means anything are part of his grudge or ghraieb that he's got against the individual said he killed. i don't know. he carjack the individual who's a man, didn't harm him at all so that'll all be something that as the investigation proceeds, there'll be digging into. >> but right >> now, they've got to make sure they can get their hands on him at some point in time and again, it's a very dynamic scene going on right there and important point about the victims were going to take a quick break and we'll be right back >> this is the big dam time to kane, who that do >> when you hear iphone an apple watch with consumer cellular is fast and reliable

1:29 pm
triple shooting has barricaded himself inside a home in trenton, new jersey. police are surrounding the area. 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
1:30 pm
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 able to show you the home itself is the red brick face to play flex that you see off in the distance here, about 100 yards from where we're standing. and that's where for the last 90 minutes from our vantage point and our perspective, we've been able to here law enforcement personnel using effectively a bullhorn to communicate with the suspect who they believe is inside identified as 26 year-old andriy gordon. we have heard negotiators repeatedly asked him to step out of the home shirt off hands up, assuring gordon that they do not want to hurt them, that they want to bring this to a peaceful end. about 30 minutes ago or so, we did see some smoke hook a bit of smoke that was billowing from an area in front of the home, also heard
1:31 pm
some banging noises, but since then, we really haven't seen or heard anything else. important to point out that investigators said that they have no reason to doubt that he's inside, but really until they're able to have eyes in the interior of this, of this home. they will not be able to finally confirm that or that he's even still alive. but again, what we have seen, what we have heard are constant some efforts to communicate with this young man with andrea gordon suspected of shooting and killing several of his relatives in neighboring pennsylvania, pleading with him that he either step the home or pick up the phone and down 911 and really show is intentions that he would like to also help bring this to a peaceful end. paula, let's send things back to you. >> hello, we will continue to monitor the situation. thank you for that report. now, coming up, trump rallying in ohio a day after his former vice president mike pence said he could not enough source trump for president. lot a live report next

1:37 pm
again called those for those to be jailed who have committed crimes against him. and he said that those who committed crimes on january 6 should be released from jail. he called them hostages, an unbelievable patriots he also repeated false claims that joe biden is behind his legal problems. and once again, he praised hungarian strongman viktor oberon, but he did not address his former vice president mike pence, who just yesterday said he cannot, in good conscience, endorse his former boss cnn's alayna treene, is live in ohio. only know what to do here from former president trump tonight. >> agree it's going to be, we have to work very well, paula, it's interesting because this is donald trump's first rally and first big speech since clinching of delegates earlier in the week to officially declare him the presumptive a secure the nomination at the convention this summer. but luck. he's an ohio, not necessarily for his own general election campaign. this is a
1:38 pm

1:39 pm
interference case or removing weight and joining me now is eto callahan. he is a former federal prosecutor he also was a top justice it's department official in the trump justice department. you also helped to oversee the molar investigation. so i'm really interested to get your take on what happened yesterday with the judge in georgia. >> so it was a very interesting decision by the judge in georgia yesterday. he essentially chose to give fani willis the option of whether she herself would be removed from the case or the prosecutor that she had appointed in particular to run the case against donald trump? and the coconspirators mr. wade, essentially resigned, which i think was the right thing for him to do. and so fani will remain as the be on the case. she now has to find a top prosecutor to replace mr. wade
1:40 pm
it is no small matter when a when i judge removes a prosecutor from the case. but i think this judge has been doing a pretty remarkable job in the face of what anyone would assess to be a circus courtroom well before any trial is to take place and he's he's dealing with the issues as they come before them, before him and making rulings that he thinks are the best judgment to to keep the case moving forward. >> yeah. young judge, on the bench, just about a year. and then as a handle this question of whether her entire office should be disqualified because fani willis and nathan wade had a romantic relationship. the defendants were claiming that she financially benefitted. the judge said that they did not actually prove that allegation, but you've been involved in a high-profile file investigation related to former president trump. >> you >> have to be basically the pope, right? you have to be beyond reproach. what is your reaction to what transpired here? >> yeah. i mean, i think the judge appropriately laid
1:41 pm
forward some of his concerns to say the least about what the evidence in the hearings displayed, which which were some ethical issues for sure and look as a prosecutor that has the responsibility to represent people in bringing a case. you do want to be above reproach. obviously, we're dealing with human beings. >> but, >> but the fact that matter is you're held to a higher standard and that standard is when you represent the people of the state of georgia or in federal court, that people united states, that there should not be any any, any doubt about the existence of any conflict of interest, even the appearance of a conflict of interests. and what i think we saw was there was plenty of conflict of interests here i think the judge did his best given the difficult facts that were presented before him >> i want to turn our attention to manhattan, the manhattan district attorney's case
1:42 pm
against former president trump was expected to be the first criminal trial is scheduled to begin in a week, but past few days they suddenly receive tens of thousands of pages of evidence from your old office, southern district of new york's the federal prosecutors in manhattan. so now the judge is holding a hearing a week from now to figure out if he needs a new the trial date. how does something like this happen or sibling tens of thousands of pages of evidence are turned over from federal prosecutors to the state prosecutor >> i have to tell you, paula, two incredibly unusual in my experience that given where obviously we know the southern district of new yorke had some cases, most prominently the michael cohen case. and presumably some of these documents are coming from their cache of documents that were developed in their investigation of that case. but then long over. michael cohen has already served his jail sentence and he's back out. and so i find it difficult to understand what was that prevented southern
1:43 pm
district from giving the manhattan da's office whatever they were asking for, that was relevant either inculpatory information shouldn't or exculpatory, frankly, even more importantly, for the defense in my experience, and as the southern district of new york prosecutor, there was a strong rivalry with the manhattan da's office frankly, the only time that you would keep information from another prosecutor's office that is representing to you that they can use it either in a case that's already charged or further investigate is when i thought i still had invented let's take a look at avenues to pursue. and i thought that there was something in that cache of documents that i wanted to make sure i ran to grant. now, i'm not saying that. i'm aware of anything like that happening in the sudden district of new york, but that's really the only justifiable reason i could, i could imagine that they didn't immediately turn it over at the request of de a brack he looked down to florida, the classified documents case. it's been two weeks now. we've been waiting
1:44 pm
for the judge to set a new trial date in that case. there are some questions about whether that case we'll go before november. what is your assessment of that case and whether it can realistically go before the election and is that a product of the judge or is it just the nature of the case? >> yeah. i think that it's going to be difficult in my assessment two, for that case to go before the november, i will go to trial before the november election there are a number of circumstances that have a lot of bearing on that. one is just that nature of the charges on the judge. did rule against mr. trump and his effort to dismiss the espionage act charges on unconstitutionally vague arguments on she did say it was without prejudice, which actually can prove a little troublesome for the prosecutor. that they still might have to deal with that down the road but but she's at least move that along but in terms of what's what's really the difficult part of that case is all the classified information that's involved in it. there
1:45 pm
are procedures in cases involving classified documents. it's classified information procedures act, which there have been some hearings in that. but the fact of the matter is because those hearings take longer, this judges unfortunately little bit unfamiliar with those proceedings things i just think it's going to take longer to hash all that through. and that basically is and the judge has to make rulings when the prosecutors does yeah. discovery for the defendant to defend themselves against certain allegations. they they don't necessarily need access to all the classified material aerial that might be implicated in the case. and she's got to make some pretty strong rulings saying that the defense does not need that and that's a difficult thing for judges. but just to do there, they are inclined to frankly provide as much discovery as a defendant wants. but in classified document cases, it's the
1:46 pm
different beast and she just doesn't have familiarity with it. so i think it's just going to take longer. >> another arguably inexperienced judge. all right. so we've talked about three of the four criminal cases against former president trump. the calendar is crowded. it's confusing, it's uncertain. do you think any of these cases are going to go before the election? >> i do think i do think i'm going to hattan da will go before the election. i think but the judge judge mark sean, there has shown that he wants to push this case forward. i think that they will figure out this discovery there may be some cornel called bombshells that come out into the which lead to more motion practice. but that seems like it is teed up to go before trial. and the other case, of course, we haven't talked about is the january very six case. that is pending before the supreme court on the issue of whether the president, it should have absolute immunity from prosecution. if you look at the timing of that case. it is pretty interesting they've set the oral argument in the
1:47 pm
supreme court for april 25th. that means it's likely that a decision on that comes out with the rest of the end of term opinions, which is end of june arguably, because there's only one defendant that's only mr. trump in that case. there's an argument that that case could be he said, before judge chutkan here, who's also indicated that she wants this to go to trial sometime late september, early october. it's possible. you then bump up against the doj policy. of course, of whether or not you actually bring doesn't apply here with a criminal trial. they broke that news two weeks ago. >> i think that there is a frankly more typically nuanced common sense application of that of that policy than than what we strictly represented there. i do think that at the end of the day everything would turn out that they don't push to do that trial before the election as well. but i could see this schedule working out
1:48 pm
that that trial does go before the election, fascinate will have you back to talk about all of it is going to be a busy year, yeah, lots of trials maybe. >> yeah, i'll see at a kind. thank you so much. thank you, paula. >> and president biden has long touted his close relationship with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. but this week is showing us just how much that israel, hello most war is straining that bond. and we're also falling are breaking news out of trenton were triple shooting suspect is believed to be barricaded inside a home the privilege of serving you. i do not take lightly, but you will need to be better at being normal when who don't know more. it feels like you're telling me that i'm not normal and it makes me distrust all of you. and want you to be done and bead better. being normal, good regime.

1:54 pm
people to decide. but president spoke about the passion with which leader schumer made that speech. and the president said that he knows that those remarks they resonate with many americans out there >> cnn's kevin liptak is live at the white house. kevin, what is the latest on these reported negotiations? >> well, the white house says they're cautiously optimistic that these talks are heading in the right direction and they've seen the proposals that are being offered by each side and they do think that this could eventually result in a deal. but at the same time, remember paula, the white house had once hoped that there would be a hostage deal in place by the start of ramadan of course, that done came and went. and so certainly officials here are realistic that these talks will take time and that there are a lot of sticky differences between all of the sides before they can come up with an agreement that would of course, also include a temporary ceasefire fire. but as you mentioned, this is all coming amid these deepening rift
1:55 pm
between this white house and the government in israel. and certainly that speech last week, frack from chuck schumer really did emphasize the divides among democrats when it comes to this situation in gaza. and it was interesting, we heard president biden, not necessarily endorsed the explicit recommendation that schumer made four elections in israel, but he also didn't condemn it. and we do understand that schumer did speak to top officials here at the white house before delivering that speech. and he did not come away with those conversations with any signs of pollution critical worries of diplomatic concerns. and so certainly was interesting. and then it does give you a sense of this rift that is growing and certainly here at the white house from the president on down, there have been anger, frustrations growing with netanyahu at what they see is repeated instances of him rejecting recommendations, whether it's the scale of the war whether it's the necessity to get more humanitarian aid
