Cops: Mother Shot Her Three Children, Killing Two, In Burlington County Tragedy

The mother of the two children who died in a tragic shooting in Burlington County shot the children - and another who remains in critical condition - before turning the gun on herself, according to the State Police.

The weapon was found in close proximity to the mother, police said at a press conference Friday. A pillow was used to muffle the sounds of the revolver.

The revolver used in the incident was kept in the house and may have belonged to a relative who had passed away some time ago, police said.

Charges against Jeaninne LePage will be determined by the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office should she survive her injuries, police said.

All victims were found in the same room, police said.

The three children involved in Thursday morning’s shooting in Tabernacle were identified on Thursday.

The two children who were pronounced dead following the shootings have been identified as 8-year-old Nadia Harriman and 14-year-old Nicholas Harriman, State Police confirmed on Friday.

Alexander Harriman, 11, remains in critical condition, as does LePage, 44. They are at Cooper Hospital in Camden.

State Police have located the father and he was being interviewed as of Friday afternoon.

The shootings were reported around 9:15 a.m. Thursday morning.

Earlier Friday it was reported that LePage was an unemployed nurse facing financial problems. She allegedly told a close friend things may go this way if her financial situation didn’t improve.

LePage and her children were living with her brother, his wife and their children, according to the report.
