One person is dead and another in critical condition after a shooting at a nursing facility in Egg Harbor Township on Monday morning.
Egg Harbor Township police and the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office were at ExcelCare, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center on Delilah Road.
The shooting happened around 6 a.m.
The Prosecutor's Office confirmed the dead and wounded in a news release, but is not naming the victims. They did know one another.
It appears to be a murder and suicide attempt, sources tell BreakingAC.
No residents were injured.
The daughter of a patient said her mother called at 6 a.m., saying someone came by and shut all the residents' doors.
"I could hear the fire alarms going off in the background," the daughter said.
Police then came by with long rifles and did a room sweep, she added.
Several family members expressed worry and frustration that they were not notified of the incident or as to the status of their loved ones.
A car with two men that indicated the Southern Region Medical Examiner's Office arrived on scene just after 9:30 a.m.
It is Atlantic County's first homicide of the year.
Officials previously said that it appears to be an isolated incident and there was no threat to anyone else.
Prosecutor William Reynolds was at the scene at one point but has not commented.
