Kendra Dvorak, 43, of Pawnee County is survived by her two teen daughters along with the hundreds of students she taught over the years who she considered her kids.
Beloved Oklahoma teacher Kendra Dvorak was killed in her Pawnee County home Thursday night alongside her ex-boyfriend Jim Two-Feathers in what authorities are calling a murder-suicide. Both Dvorak and Two-Feathers were found dead of gunshot wounds, with Two-Feathers’ “clearly” self-inflicted, authorities said, according to Tulsa World.
“Everybody knew our suspect, everybody knew our victim,” Pawnee County Chief Deputy Nick Mahoney told KOTV.
The tragic night began as a hostage situation, when Two-Feathers showed up at 43-year-old Dvorak’s rural mobile home with a gun and barricaded himself inside, Mahoney said, according to Tulsa World.
