What prompted 62 year old son, George Bullet III to kill his 85 year old mother, Andrea Bullet before killing himself at NJ nursing home, Genesis HealthCare facility? As a staff member walked into the room, Buller shot himself. According to the early indicators, one of the victims could also be a shooter.
“It’s unknown exactly where the gun was or if he did go out to retrieve the gun”, Voorhees Township Police Deputy Chief Bill Donnelly told WCAU-TV. He then turned the gun on himself. He left to get something out of his auto, police say, before returning to her room.
Officials say the man had visited his mom in the past but there is no immediate motive as to why he may have taken her life and then his own.
According to its website, the Voorhees Center’s programs and services include transitional care, short stay and long term care, cardiac management, and memory and dementia care. It operates more than 500 centers in the country.
