"It's A Very Bizarre Incident"

"CLARKS SUMMIT, PA — A nurse has apparently shot dead a 79-year-old patient at the nursing home where she worked before turning the gun on herself.

"In a case that has baffled investigators, Aimee Larkin, a 42-year-old licensed nurse from Dunmore, Pennsylvania apparently brought a semi-automatic handgun to her night shift at Abington Manor in Clarks Summit on Monday.

"Shortly before 5.30pm, she fatally shot Howard Kinney in the chest before shooting herself in the head, South Abington Township Police Chief Robert Gerrity said. Other workers found the bodies.

"Investigators have said they have no idea why Larkin would carry out the murder-suicide.

"`We're actively investigating this, conducting a lot of interviews, but right now we're at a loss, actually, as to what the motive was,` he said.

"He said investigators don't know whether the weapon was hers and said that it was unclear whether their relationship went beyond that of caregiver and patient.

"They did not leave a note and employees at Abington Manor said they haven't noticed any unusual behavior from the nurse or the patient.

"`It's a very bizarre incident,` Gerrity said, adding that `we may never know` the motive.

"Larkin had worked there since 2011 and her Facebook profile appears to indicate that she was married. Kinney, from Overfield Township, had lived there for about two years."
