OLOMA, Mich. (WOOD) — Larry Darnell Gordon has been identified as the man who took a deputy’s gun inside the Berrien County Courthouse, fatally shooting two bailiffs and injuring two others.
The mother of Gordon’s children, his ex-wife Jessica Gordon, said officers came to her home to notify her of what happened. The sheriff confirmed Gordon’s identity publicly in a news conference shortly after 9 p.m. Monday.
The sheriff said a deputy was escorting Gordon from a holding cell to the courtroom when Gordon overpowered the deputy and took his gun before firing shots.
Bailiffs Joseph Zangaro and Ronald Kienzle were killed and Berrien County deputy James Atterberry Jr. was shot in the arm. A woman was also wounded. Gordon was then shot and killed by an officer.
Jessica Gordon told 24 Hour News 8 that her ex-husband was still her best friend. She was shocked to hear of what happened but said she had a feeling her ex-husband was involved even before the officers came to notify her.
“He was an amazing man that got mixed up with the wrong people. He loved his children and me and his mother and sister with everything that he had,” Gordon told 24 Hour News 8. “Our wedding anniversary would have been tomorrow.”
Gordon says she spoke with Larry yesterday and had no indication that he was planning any attack. Sheriff’s officials said they were still investigating whether the incident was planned.
“I believe he was probably terrified of having to go to prison and not seeing his family again,” Gordon said. “All he wanted to do was get home to our baby girl.”
The sheriff said Monday night all indications were Gordon was trying to break out of jail.
Gordon was in jail on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, Michigan State Police records show. He was also facing charges of kidnapping, assault with a dangerous weapon, and domestic violence.
“I just don’t want the press to paint a picture of him as a angry violent person,” Gordon said. “I don’t want the lies. I don’t want the speculation.”
Gordon is from Battle Creek, Jessica said. He has five children and eleven grandchildren.
“Our daughter… is what keeps me going,” Gordon said. “I’m numb right now. I’ve been crying for hours.”
Jessica said she also feels for the families of those who were killed.
“I’m very sorry for their loss and their family’s loss. We are also grieving the loss of our loved one,” she said. “I have to believe with all my heart – he was terrified of not seeing his family again.”
Thanks...totally missed that...

It's a riff on the "White Hispanic" that was invented for George Zimmerman.
When you are in jail for those kind of crimes you are not a nice person, a good father, a loving husband or son
happy to see we’re not yet over the edge
and his cheek bones look somewhat elevated to me ....

He just got caught up with the wrong crowd and had no control over his actions. /S
They look pouchy and UKish to me.
at least the local hospital has improved some from where it was just a few years ago....
well, I guess its only fair for the white trash, if he is white, to get in the act....afterall, violence only brings attention and praise and martyrdom status for the black animals...
Beware of white men named “Darnell”.
His wife makes the pickaninny Newport smoker from Minnesota sound like a Rhodes Scholar.
He was exactly where he needed to be. And I'm sad that others were killed trying to keep him there.
“Suicide by cop?......”
I don’t think so, but more likely an escalation in the War on Cops.
Yuppers
No, it is not much and it is not racist or trash talk. The guy is a mulatto. The only trash is the murderous, sexual predator guy himself.
He’s mulatto? I sense a little bit of Hungarian in his woodpile, or a dash of Finn.

None of that would lead anyone to think Gordon was an angry, violent person, would it?
Good grief, the stupidity and denial...
Rot in hell, Gordon.
Wow...what a POS....
Too bad justice was not delivered when he was caught...
Two bailiffs would be alive today..
I have to say his wife has Stockholm syndrome or is delusional...
