Police, SWAT officers and the FBI are working to put an end to a hostage situation in Trenton, N.J. that has been going on for at least 17 hours.
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.
Sources tell NBC10 that officers went into the home and found a partially decomposed body of a woman, but the man inside pulled out a gun and threatened to harm his children.
He's been barricaded inside the home for hours. The FBI is helping Trenton police with negotiations.
Nearby homes have been evacuated and the street has been blocked off.
