Authorities identify one victim in Dallas hospital shooting

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Authorities have identified one of the two Dallas hospital employees who police say were fatally shot over the weekend by a 30-year-old man who opened fire after accusing his girlfriend of infidelity while she was at the medical facility to give birth. Jacqueline Pokuaa, 45, was killed in the Saturday shooting at Methodist Dallas Medical Center, the Dallas County medical examiner’s office said . A spokeswoman for the office said the manner and cause of death were still being reviewed and that it wasn't yet prepared to release the identity of the other person who was killed.

Authorities have said Nestor Hernandez opened fire around 11 a.m. Saturday while at the hospital for the birth of a child by his “significant other.” Hernandez, who was on parole from prison at the time and had been granted permission to be at the hospital, was shot and wounded by a police officer and taken to another medical facility for care, authorities said.
