A 43-year-old Griffin police officer and father of seven was shot and killed outside of a Waffle House early this morning while working an off-duty security job in full uniform, authorities said.
Three suspects are in custody after the shooting death of Officer Kevin Jordan, an ex-Marine who had been with the Griffin Police Department for four years and often worked security at the restaurant on weekend nights, police spokesman Mike Richardson said.
The altercation began when two men and a woman who allegedly caused a disturbance at a Waffle House on U.S. 19 were asked to leave the restaurant around 2:20 a.m. Saturday, Richardson said. A fight broke out after Jordan got them outside and tried to handcuff 28-year-old Chantell Mixon, he said.
Jordan was on the ground trying to restrain Mixon when another man shot him at least three times in the back, and one of the bullets cut through Jordan’s bulletproof vest, Richardson said. Police identified the suspected gunman as 30-year-old Michael D. Bowman.
Jordan’s brother, Raymond Jordan, was in the parking lot when the gunfire erupted and shot Bowman, Richardson said. The brother is a civilian who had a permit to carry a gun and was at the restaurant to visit Jordan, police said.

Because.
Bah!
This is an anti-cop website.
From the FR Homepage:
Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America
Law Enforcement is the armed wing of our bloated government. If you don't want to watch over them, then you are the problem.
I don’t agree. There are a few posters who do seem to be anti-cop, but that doesn’t make Free Republic an anti-cop website.
Thank you. :)
“”As he was on the ground trying to cuff her, one of the males who was with her apparently brandished a firearm and shot (Jordan) three times in the back,”
Does Georgia still have the death penalty?
Hope so.
Some people are either/or thinkers.
No shades of gray...just black or white.
The uniformed officer had a perp on the ground; the perp’s companion shot the officer in the back; the officer was defended by his brother, who happened to be in the area.
TL;DR: Journalists can’t write.
You’re an anti-conservative moron. LOL
I just “got” your user name.
Ha!

Male or female WH server?
You’ll have to admit, it’s a reasonable question!
I don’t care what everyone else says about you, I love you.
;D
Too bad.
Awww, thanks!
For the record, I did NOT believe that story about you and the transvestite rodeo clown.
Male, although I’ve heard about female servers delivering percussive behavior modification via frying pan.
Because Waffle House is awesome. Because waffles. Because bacon.
