Love Triangle Suspected In Attempted Murder/Suicide


"FOSTORIA, OH - A Fostoria man was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after he attempted to shoot another male on West Eagle Street early Monday morning.

"Jordan Hacker, 21, was found face down in the 100 block of West Eagle Street after police were called to a residence for the report of a shooting.

"`It appears to be a suicide,` Fostoria Police Chief John McGuire said Monday afternoon.

"McGuire said Hacker had gone to 120 W. Eagle St. around 5:43 a.m. When the man's mother answered the door, Hacker said he needed to speak with the man because a family member was in the hospital.

"When the man, 31, came to the door, Hacker produced a gun and shot at him, McGuire said. The man ducked and slammed the door, avoiding the bullet. Hacker then fled on foot.

"McGuire said police found Hacker a short distance away in a backyard at the southwest corner of South Main and Eagle streets. He was face down with a gunshot wound to the face, and the gun was in his hand, McGuire said. A spent shell casing was found near his body.

"`He meant to do harm to the 31-year-old male and take his own life,` he said.

"Police believe the only connection between Hacker and the man he tried to shoot is Hacker's girlfriend, McGuire said.

"The woman, who police had not talked to as of Monday afternoon, once dated the 31-year-old man, but had been separated from him for more than five years.

"McGuire said police also located a suicide note at Hacker's residence on West North Street.

"Police are withholding the name of the 31-year-old male pending investigation, McGuire said."

  4. She probably put him up to it. Why else would she conveniently be gone when Jordan decided to do what he did? He had issues long before this happened. May he r.i.p. and know he left behind a beautiful, smart, intelligent daughter filled with a lot of questions. Imagine how hard its going to be when the time comes where her mother will have to answer all of those questions. If he loved life and his daughter so much, why'd he pull a ridiculous stunt that he did? Very selfish if you ask me.

  5. How in the hell can you dodge a bullet? It doesn't add up.. Let the family grieve in private and stop making up something to make a story...

    Grow up.
