Award winning trauma surgeon?



BUFFALO, N.Y. — Police scoured the Buffalo area Thursday morning, searching for an award-winning trauma surgeon and former military weapons expert to question him about the fatal shooting of a receptionist at the hospital where they worked.

City police spokesman Michael DeGeorge wouldn't divulge details of the search, where police were focused or how many officers were involved. He only said the search for 49-year-old Timothy Jorden was extensive and ongoing. Police say Jorden may be armed and should be considered dangerous.

Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda was expected to give an update on the killing by noon.

On Thursday morning, there were no memorials and no sign of Wednesday's violence at the Erie County Medical Center, where 33-year-old Jacqueline Wisniewski was gunned down in a stairwell.

Jorden, who has been licensed to practice medicine in New York for a decade, has served as a role model for black youth in Buffalo, people who know him told the Buffalo News.
