Thanks. There is a possible name of the shooter floating around on Twitter. I am avoiding posting it until it's confirmed by media. Hopefully it will be stated during the press conference.

According to WOSU's Esther Honig, that officer was Kirkersville police chief Robert E. Chamberlain II.

Cyber investigator and home land security on site? Any thoughts on that?

Prayers to that officers wife, children, and the 2 employees family.

IDK what to think. First call was for man outside with gun. Chief found outside, then gunman entered center and shot 2 workers, then himself. Who was his primary target?

I'm not sure either what to think. Especially when you combine the reports say the officer was ambushed.

They also said the building was secured and there was a scuffle before residents heard shots.

It just seems really fast to get Homeland and Cyber on seen if it was perceived to be your usual domestic or other typical situation. I also noted BCI lead Trout was requested to lead the investigation. That could be irrelevant but I noticed they said he was requested.

Sheriff: Police chief, gunman among 4 killed in Ohio nursing home shooting

According to the sheriff of Licking County, Randy Thorp, four people have died after an active shooter situation east of Columbus.

Thorp said the police chief, gunman and two employees of a nursing home were shot and killed Friday morning.

Maybe thread title should be changed?

And if the building was secured how did the shooter get in?

Thorpe said Kirkersville police chief Steven Eric Disario was dispatched Friday morning after a report of a man with a gun. The last radio transmission from Disario informed dispatch that he had the gunman in his sights. When backup units arrived, Disario's body was laying dead in the street.

I wonder if the chief was afraid of going to prison if he shot him. Or maybe the guy had an accomplice.

The press conference is in this video. I'm just curious why a special agent for SouthEast OH would be requested to lead when Central OH/ Columbus seems much closer. I'm not sure which region Kirkersville falls under.

Brad Casto, a 15-year resident of Kirkersville who lives next to Pine Kirk, says the nursing home included people with mental disabilities as well as the elderly. For a shooter to get into the locked facility, Casto says a person would need someone to let them in or have access to the code.
