Police say a suspected drunken driver shot and killed Colorado Springs Officer Kenneth Chua Jordan during a traffic stop late Monday night, marking the department's second fatal shooting in the line of duty this year.

Jordan, a 32-year-old Chicago native, served six years with the force and specialized in DUI cases.

Police returned fire and wounded the driver, 25-year-old Marco Reiner Lee of Colorado Springs. Both Jordan and Lee were transported to Memorial Hospital, where Jordan died about 12:18 a.m. Tuesday.

Lee is expected to survive.

Suspect thinks world against him, kin says

Colorado Springs police shooting suspect Marco Lee.

By Dick Foster, Rocky Mountain News

COLORADO SPRINGS - Three traffic stops since March. A fascination with guns. And a building frustration over the "drama" in his life.

As 25-year-old Marco Reiner Lee lay in a bed at Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, investigators struggled to understand the motivation of the man accused of opening fire on police and killing Colorado Springs Officer Ken Jordan.

A family member told The(Colorado Springs) Gazette that Lee "thinks like the world is all against him" - and court records suggest he acted that way.

Lee, who mugged for his MySpace page dressed in camo and a bulletproof vest, had two encounters with police before Monday's fatal stop.

In March, a police officer stopped Lee for speeding, clocking him at an estimated 80 mph in a 55-mph zone on Interstate 25.

When the officer told Lee about his speed, Lee shouted, "You're f------ crazy. You're out of your f------ mind," according to a court affidavit.

Unfortunate choice of church, but apparently it has the seating capacity.
