LONDONDERRY, N.H. - The Latest on the fatal shooting of an heating oil company worker in Londonderry, New Hampshire (all times local):

12:40 p.m.

Authorities have identified a New Hampshire homicide victim along with the man who they say killed him and then attempted to kill himself.

The attorney general's office says 69-year-old Richard Verville shot and killed 59-year-old Daniel Rabideau on Tuesday while Rabideau was working on Verville's heating system. Authorities say Verville then shot himself. He was in stable condition Wednesday.

Rabideau, who worked for City Fuel, died of a single gunshot wound to the head. His widow, Carol Rabideau, told WMUR-TV that her husband did not know the man accused of killing him.

Authorities say Verville apparently was suffering from significant mental health issues.

The widow of a New Hampshire heating oil company worker says she's not aware of any previous contact between her husband and a homeowner accused of killing him.

Investigators say the Londonderry homeowner fatally shot an oil company employee who came to his house to do work on Tuesday before trying to kill himself. Authorities haven't released either of their names, but the worker's wife, Carole Rabideau, of Manchester, told WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/1TzBMpr) that her husband was killed.

Carole Rabideau says her husband, Daniel, was 59 years old and had a son, four stepchildren and 11 grandchildren. She says he didn't deserve to die.

The homeowner was taken to a hospital in Massachusetts, where he's listed in critical condition.
