New Jersey nurse killed by estranged husband in workplace shooting

A New Jersey nurse was shot and killed at her workplace in an apparent murder-suicide after her ex-husband allegedly ambushed her outside and chased her into the building, authorities said.

Brandon Alexander, 35, targeted his wife, Victoria Alexander, 38, a nurse at Excelcare Rehabilitation Center in Egg Harbor Township, around 6 a.m. Monday morning, the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office said in a news release.

Brandon Alexander blocked his wife’s car in the parking lot as she arrived at work, got into her vehicle and left two suicide notes on the dashboard, investigators said.

Prosecutors said that when a food delivery driver asked her to move her car, Victoria Alexander took the opportunity to escape and ran into the building.
