2nd victim dies after Warren County group home shooting

The other person committed suicide.

The second victim in a shooting early Tuesday at a Warren County group home has died, New Jersey State Police confirmed Saturday.

Randolph Meisten, 67, died Thursday evening from a gunshot wound to the head, state police said. He had been flown to Morristown Medical Center in critical condition after the shooting shortly before 7 a.m. Tuesday at the Easterseals group home at 35 Buttzville Road in White Township.

The other victim, 57-year-old Peter Ross, was pronounced dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head, state police previously said.

Shooting shakes peaceful community

Both men were residents of the home, which -- along with a similar one for women across the street -- is for homeless people who have a mental health diagnosis.

Neighbors said the Easterseals residents have never been a problem in the quiet community.
