Sunday afternoon an employee shot a store manager
and then himself in a New York Home Depot. The
38-year-old manager, who was shot in an aisle of
the store, was transported to Bellevue Hospital
where he was later pronounced dead. The shooter,
a 31-year-old male worker at the store, was not
scheduled to work when he came in. The shooter
was pronounced dead at the scene from a
self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police recovered a
.38-caliber revolver at the scene. Police did not
speculate on a motive for the shooting, noting
that the incident is still under investigation.
