Thorp identified the chief as Steven Eric Disario. None of the 23 residents at the facility are believed to have been injured.

"It's just a tragic event", Mr Thorp said, adding that Disario had been responding to reports of a man with a gun when he was shot around 08:00 local time.

"We don't know the cause or the objective or what drove this individual to do this", Thorp said, adding that was being investigated. Thorp says Disario had only been on the job for three weeks.

Thorp called it a hard day for all. A home across the street reportedly was damaged by a stray bullet, but Thorp said that had not been confirmed to have been part of Friday's incident.

The Licking County Sheriff's Office also expressed their condolences to Disario's family.

He said police weren't immediately able to positively identify the gunman and were trying to determine what, if any, relationship he had with the nursing home.

Friday's events have shaken the community of Kirkersville, located off Interstate 70 in southern Licking County and home to fewer than 600 people. No other information has been released, and authorities are still on the scene.
