Estranged Husband Kills 3 in Tenn. State Garage

On Tuesday the 11th, three people were killed in a Tennessee Dept. of Transportation maintenance garage in Jackson. 40-year-old David Lynn Jordan entered the facility around 11:30 am where his estranged wife, Donna Jordan, 31, had worked. Along with murdering her, he killed two men, neither of whom worked in the building. One man, an employee of another state agency, was getting his truck fixed and the other man was delivering a package. Two garage workers were also seriously wounded but survived. The assailant fled the scene but was soon apprehended without incident a few miles away. In his pickup truck was found an arsenal including an SKS assault rifle with multiple clips, a 12-gauge shotgun and two semi-automatic handguns. He is held without bond with murder and attempted murder charges. He had a prior criminal history of domestic assault.
