Rockville nursing home double shooting was murder-suicide, police say

At 9:30 a.m. Monday, Albert Ballard, 80, arrived at a nursing home in Rockville to visit his wife, Sandra, 74, as he did most every day. He signed in and was given a badge so he could move around the place.

Minutes later, shots were heard from Sandra Ballard’s room. The couple, married for more than four decades, were dead.

Montgomery County police classified the case as a murder-suicide, and officials said Albert Ballard shot his wife and then himself.
