Fairport police say a father shot and killed his adult daughter, who had disabilities,  before taking his own life Wednesday morning.

According to Spectrum News, Fairport Police Chief Sam Farina says 60-year-old John Beilman killed his daughter, 27-year-old Nicole Beilman, in the backyard of 19 Williamsburg Drive in the Village of Fairport.

Police say he then killed himself.

Officials say Nicole suffered from Rett syndrome, a degenerative neurological disease,  and was confined to a wheelchair.

Chief Farina says they did find a suicide note from John to his wife, Donna, though he wouldn't go into much detail about it.

Farina said the note will be a part of their ongoing investigation as they look for a motive.
