Buffalo police and SWAT teams are searching for a prominent surgeon who is a “person of interest” in the shooting death of a 33-year-old woman Wednesday morning.
Jacqueline Wisniewski was a receptionist at ECMC hospital where Dr. Timothy Jorden saw patients. Jorden is suspected of shooting and killing Ms. Wisniewski in the stairwell of an office building next to the main hospital.
Co-workers say they heard four pops around 8 a.m. Wednesday morning. Within minutes police swarmed the hospital and locked down the campus.
Arriving patients were redirected to nearby Buffalo General hospital’s emergency room. Hospital workers and medical students weren’t allowed to enter the hospital grounds until 2 p.m. The shooting took place while 400 patients and half of the hospital’s 2000 employees were on the property.
