Part of the article linked below;
"I do surmise this - when she ran, she got to the bedroom she could have just laid on the bed or something. It was as though she had turned around to check on me, like she was worried, so she stopped in the doorway and she turned back around and that was when she got hit."
As Shawn repeated his location over and over to the 911 operator, he bent by his wife's side.
"Here's people in Horton and they don't know where Powhattan is, and that just blows me away. We're not talking Cherry Creek here, it's some place right down the road. I had to say it ten times, it was so frustrating."
Then Shawn remembers kissing his wife's belly and bidding his child goodbye. "Until now I didn't know that was what I was doing. I felt compelled to kiss my wife on the belly. I thought, 'You know Shawn, your baby is saying goodbye.'"
When emergency crews arrived 15 minutes later, it was apparent that Jodie had died instantly.
"The one thing I am glad for is that my wife didn't' suffer. She died instantly, however my baby didn't," he said. Shawn asked if his little girl could be saved, but because of the length of time it had taken the ambulance to get to the Bordeaux home and the distance back to a hospital, he was told that the baby didn't have a chance of survival. In less than five minutes, Shawn Bordeaux had lost a wife he cherished and the dream of a little girl he never met.
He is angry now as he looks back on the police treatment of the crime scene.

Late on November 21st, Shawn and Jodie were spending a quiet night at home when a strange noise startled the Bordeaux's dog. Shawn followed him to the back porch. Soon bullets were fired through the home. Shawn could see that Jodie was dead. He quickly dialed 911 hoping to save his unborn baby, but to no avail. That night, Shawn lost both Jodie and the baby. Despite an exhaustive investigation, four years later, no one has been charged with murder. There were no witnesses and no weapons were found. But Shawn still holds out hope that someday there will be justice for Jodie.
