A 90-year-old man killed himself and his wife in a shooting at Chester County nursing home, DA says.
The woman was killed at the Manatawny Manor nursing home, the District Attorney's Office said.
An 89-year-old woman was killed by her husband Thursday in what authorities said was a murder-suicide at a nursing home in East Coventry Township.
The woman was killed at the Manatawny Manor nursing home, according to a statement from the Chester County District Attorney’s Office.
Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said Friday that the woman’s 90-year-old husband, whose name authorities are not releasing, entered the facility late Thursday morning and killed his wife before shooting himself in the head.
The man died overnight at Reading Hospital.
de Barrena-Sarobe said that the man was known to staff at the facility, and had never had any issues there previously.
No one else at the facility was harmed in the incident.
