The victim, 33-year-old Marlena Cardoso, who is a nurse at the residence, remained in stable condition on Wednesday.

....Iannicello said Cardoso was slated to undergo more surgery Wednesday afternoon.

...Iannicello said the senior was apparently late on some payments, so Cardoso told him he had to have a meeting with the home's manager. Iannicello said it was then that the man allegedly went back to his apartment and came out in his wheelchair holding a gun.

...Police said the shooter was in a wheelchair when Cardoso was shot in the upper torso on Tuesday afternoon.

...Police confirmed that as long as the gun was properly registered, the man was within his rights to own a firearm because a seniors home is considered a private residence.

Cops arrived on the scene shot the women, shot the deranged woman in the wheelchair after she would not drop her weapon after shooting a Staff member.
