911 tapes released to NBC10 reveal a frantic, traumatic scene inside a Voorhees, NJ nursing home seconds after a son shot his mother and then shot himself Sunday night.
"A visitor just shot himself, I'm not sure if he's alive or not," a woman named Maryann first told the 911 operator, panting as he tried to calm her and get more information, staying on the phone for 7 minutes until police arrived.
"Oh my God, it's chaos here," she tells the dispatcher. You can hear screaming in the background once people inside the Genesis HealthCare facility in Voorhees realize the man's mother -- one of their residents -- had also been shot.
"Oh my God, he shot her too!" Maryann tells the dispatcher who asks her to figure out where the gun is.
At one point late in the conversation, you can hear someone wailing.
"I understand honey, I understand, come here, hug me," she says, consoling the woman. "This is the nurse who saw him pull the trigger on himself," Maryann explains to the dispatcher.
George Buller III of Lumberton, NJ visited his mother, 85-year-old Andree Buller, the two ate dinner together before he shot her to death in her private room. Buller, 62, turned the gun on himself as a nurse's aid walked into the room.
