Nationwide Alert for Timothy Jorden

Law enforcement officials across the country are being asked to be on the lookout for Dr. Timothy Jorden, who is a person of interest in the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend at ECMC Wednesday morning.

The 49-year-old trauma surgeon and military weapons expert hasn’t been seen since 33-year-old Jackie Wisniewski was killed in a hospital stairwell at around 8 a.m. yesterday.

During a news conference this morning Buffalo Police Commissioner Dan Derenda said Jorden should be considered armed and dangerous, but would not call him a suspect.

Police are confident Jorden hasn't crossed the border into Canada, but Derenda said they do not know where he might be headed. All four of his registered vehicles have been accounted for, he said.

Today, a bomb threat was called in to ECMC.

Hospital CEO Jody Lomeo issued a statement saying, "Shame on the person who made today's cowardly threat that interrupted patient care and the healing process from yesterday's incident. This is a despicable act, and we will do everything to find this person and prosecute him or her to the fullest extent of the law.”
