(AP) STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. A 77-year-old man killed his wife with a commercial grade nail gun before turning the nail gun on himself, authorities said Tuesday.

Police say they have not determined what might have motivated James B. Tompkinson, a retired teacher, to kill his 76-year-old wife, Susan.

A relative who went to their home in the Ocean Acres neighborhood around 7 p.m. Monday called 911 to ask for first aid.

When police arrived, Susan Tompkinson was dead of head and chest trauma and her husband was badly injured.

He was pronounced around 6 a.m. Tuesday at Southern Ocean County Hospital.

Police Lt. Thomas Dellane said there was no history of police calls to the couple's home.

wonder if there will be cries out for further "nail gun control"

...actually I think you even need a permit or have to take some class or something or another to buy a nail gun in NJ even (i mean the .22 cal or gas based, etc)
Ahhh, it's good to live in a free state heh.

Man, Jersey really is a rough place! Nail gun murder-suicide? What will be next? Fingernail clipper drive by's?

[rev214]

i predict every nail gun owner and purchaser in the state will be required to have the NJ Firearms Purchaser Identification Card for nail gun and ammo (nails) purchases for commercial and residential use...and since its a gun and not a rifle, separate permits for each gun purchase will be required with the local township police...and home depot and lowes and sears will need ffls to sell...

Did that NAIL GUN have a large capacity (over 10 rounds) magazine?

OMG! It must hold over 100 rounds!

I think this guy was playing one round too many of Doom or Quake.....lol

or he just finally got tired of the lumps in the mashed potatoes. j/k

I wonder if the legislature there will make it mandatory to undergo some kind of background check or psych test before you can go to Home Depot to buy one of these weapons of mass destruction????

All of the laws on the books would not have stopped this loon, will these doofus political hacks EVER learn this??
