Surgeon wanted over gunning down of ex-girlfriend at NY hospital

(ABC News) A former Army Special Forces surgeon who allegedly shot his ex-girlfriend to death at a Buffalo, N.Y. hospital today remains at large, despite a day-long police manhunt.

Dr. Timothy V. Jorden, 49, is wanted in connection to the death of his one-time lover, Jackie Wisniewski, 33, a nursing student who died yesterday morning on the floor of the Erie County Medical Center.

Armed with a warrant and with ambulances at the ready, police last evening used a robot to lead the way as they searched Jorden’s Lakeview, N.Y., home. The home was in the jurisdiction of the Hamburg Police Department, although the Erie County Sheriff’s Department provided the special robot. The law enforcement units and ambulances left the home after the search, ABC News station WKBW reported.

The fatal drama at the hospital began around 8 a.m., when Jorden allegedly shot and killed Wisniewski, a woman identified as his former lover, according to sources familiar with the investigation. She was found dead in a covered passageway joining the hospital’s Kidney Center and another wing of the medical center, The Miller Building, WKBW reported.
