People who live in the area told us they are shocked two employees were involved in this shooting.
"These are people that work there. They take care of our elderly and you’re going to come and bring a gun to your workplace and shoot a coworker? Over whatever the case may be. I really don’t know what’s the case but to shoot a coworker? It’s crazy. It’s really crazy," nearby resident, Daniel Santiago, said.
Santiago said he considered putting his mother in the facility.
"It’s very shocking to me because that’s a nursing home. That was something we were considering with my mom. I have an 83-year-old mom. Now that’s out of the question now," Santiago added.
