(AP) ? Police in Buffalo, N.Y., say a trauma surgeon is a "person of interest" in a fatal shooting at a hospital and warn the former Army Special Forces weapons expert may be armed and dangerous.

The early morning shooting death of a 33-year-old woman Wednesday locked down the Erie County Medical Center complex for more than four hours. The woman was shot four times in the stairwell of one of the hospital's buildings.

Later Wednesday, police blocked the road leading to Dr. Timothy Jorden's home in an isolated area of private Lake View homes near the Lake Erie shore.

SWAT team members in camouflage arrived in unmarked SUVs. A helicopter flew over the house then left.

Police have not yet identified the victim.
