Ordsoldier sends us a link from Fox News <\/a>which declares that Timothy Jorden, Jr., a “former Army Special Forces weapons expert” is being sought for gun play at a Buffalo hospital;<\/p>\n

Authorities identified the victim as 33-year-old Jacqueline Wisniewski, a receptionist at the hospital and the mother of a young son. Daniel Derenda, Buffalo police commissioner, said she was shot multiple times and believe the shooting was not a random attack. Media reports said she was the ex-girlfriend of the surgeon.<\/p>\n

She said Wisniewski told her the doctor had put a GPS tracking device in her car and once held her captive in her home for a day and a half, wielding a knife.<\/p>\n

“She told me if anything happened to her, that it was him,” Shipley told the station.<\/p>\n

Police have described Jorden as a bald, black male, about 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, who could be “special weapons trained.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that sounds more like someone overheard Jorden making up stories rather than actual research by reporters. WTF does “special weapons trained” mean? Does a “special weapon” point and fire by itself? Or does it shout “Timmah!” while the operator wears a bicycle helmet? And if the dude held his victim captive with a knife for a day-and-a-half, why does he have no criminal record? <\/p>\n

I find it difficult to believe that a “special weapons trained” special forces soldier would go to medical school, not that it isn’t possible, but it’s unlikely. I’m checking on Jorden’s records, but in the interim it sounds like rumor mongering by the police. They should send in their future congressman, David Bellavia to flush him out and take the dude out with his Gerber Multitool. That’s “special weapons trained”.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Local news says<\/a>; <\/p>\n

The U.S. Army tells News 4 the Buffalo native was in the Army Special Forces, serving from 1982 to 1992 as a Special Operations Medical Sergeant. He later served in the Army from 1996 to 1999 as a general surgeon, attaining the rank of Captain.<\/p>\n

Jorden received the following awards and decorations: Army Achievement Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Master Parachute Badge, Scuba Diver Badge, Special Forces Tab.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So he’s not a Special Forces Captain like Good Morning America<\/a> is saying. He’s a former captain who was in Special Forces before he was a captain. <\/p>\n

UPDATE 2: Mary at POW Network sent us this link <\/a>with this picture of him in uniform;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I guess it’s too much to ask the media to blame the fact that he specialized in treating gunshot wounds for his rampage. Naw, the crazed veteran thing is too good to pass on, I suppose. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
