Police sources tell NBC10 Philadelphia that a mother and child are dead inside the home on the 200 block of Grand Street.
Prosecutors say there are still multiple hostages. NBC10 has learned at least two children are being held inside the home.
The armed gunman is the boyfriend of the deceased mother of those children, sources tell NBC10.
Police say they arrived in the neighborhood around 3:30 Friday afternoon after getting a call from a concerned neighbor.

He's been barricaded inside the home for hours. The FBI is helping Trenton police with negotiations.
