DALLAS (AP) — Authorities say two Dallas hospital employees were fatally shot over the weekend by a 30-year-old man who opened fire after accusing his girlfriend who had just given birth of infidelity. Police say 45-year-old Jacqueline Pokuaa and 63-year-old Katie Flowers were killed in Saturday’s shooting at Methodist Dallas Medical Center. Authorities say Nestor Hernandez opened fire Saturday at the hospital. The 30-year-old was on parole and had been granted permission to be at the hospital while wearing an ankle monitor. Hernandez has been charged with capital murder. It wasn’t clear Monday if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
