A region-wide manhunt continued Thursday for a trauma surgeon and former military weapons expert suspected of fatally shooting a receptionist at the Buffalo, N.Y., hospital where they worked.

Authorities began searching Wednesday for Dr. Timothy Jorden, 49, shortly after Jacqueline Wisniewski, 33, was found dead around 8:15 a.m. in a stairwell at the Erie County Medical Center, the Buffalo News reported.

 Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda said the shooting wasn’t a random act. Media reports say Wisniewski was Jordan’s ex-girlfriend.
