A nurse was fatally shot Monday morning at a local rehabilitation facility in what authorities are calling a targeted act of domestic violence.
Police said the incident occurred shortly after 6 a.m. at ExcelCare, a nursing home on Delilah Road. Victoria Alexander, 38, was arriving for work when she encountered her estranged husband, Brandon Alexander, 35, in the parking lot.
Investigators said Brandon Alexander confronted her at her vehicle. Victoria Alexander was able to get out and run into the building, but he followed her inside and fired multiple shots.
Victoria Alexander was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities said Brandon Alexander then shot himself. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died. Officials confirmed no other patients or staff were injured. The facility was temporarily secured as law enforcement conducted a search and cleared the building.
The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office said the shooting was an isolated incident tied to a domestic dispute.
