According to investigators, Jordan shot her son, then tried to overdose on pills in an apparent suicide attempt. She was unsuccessful at taking her own life.

A family member and first responders performed life-saving efforts on her at home.

Investigators found notes left by Jordan, leading them to believe that she was the sole suspect in the shooting.

"He's a miracle child. He wasn't suppose to make it," a family member told KTVS.

When Mason was five weeks old, he suffered heart failure and two brain bleeds, which left him disabled.



In 2016, KTVZ ran a story about Jordan and Mason after the central Oregon community raised $4,000 in one day to get Mason a specialized bike.

Police say Jordan is in life-threatening condition in the hospital.
