Later, Jordan said, Czajkowski made Kepner wrap her legs around his head to shield him from police while he was near a window.
Montgomery County Detective Stanley Kadelski read Jordan's statement aloud in court. He interviewed her at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania the day after Czajkowski opened fire again on June 18 as state police broke a window to see into the room. Czajkowski killed Kepner and again wounded Jordan because of their roles in his April dismissal, authorities said.
Throughout the ordeal, Jordan told the detective, Czajkowski feared that police would find out she had been shot the first day. Jordan said she thought Czajkowski held Kepner hostage so that she wouldn't tell anyone.
On June 17, a bloody bullet wound in her left breast became an opportunity for mockery, she said.
``He kept asking me, `Well, where is the bullet?,' '' Jordan told Kadelski. `` `I see a hole, but I don't see a bullet.' ''
As Kadelski read Jordan's account, sometimes acting out her part, Czajkowski stared blankly at the table in front of him, rarely moving. Czajkowski hung his head while First Assistant District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. showed crime-scene and autopsy photographs of Kepner, 54.
Jordan, the state hospital's top nursing official, was released Friday from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
The nearly three-hour preliminary hearing was moved twice and eventually was held in Norristown's Borough Council chamber because District Justice Francis Lawrence's office could not accommodate the number of reporters and police officers present. The victims' families did not attend.
