At least one employee of the nursing home where a 95-year-old great-grandmother was tasered has been threatened with death.
Clare Nowland is receiving end-of-life care after being tasered early Wednesday morning by NSW Police Senior Constable Kristian White at Yallambie Lodge retirement home in southern NSW.
The incident has sparked outrage and Constable White has been suspended with pay.
NSW Police Secretary Yasmin Catley said during Question Time on Tuesday that at least one Yallambie Lodge employee had been threatened in the wake of the incident.

Ms Catley has also not confirmed whether she has seen police bodycam footage of the incident.
Ms. Nowland is surrounded by family and friends as she is cared for at Cooma Hospital.
Monaro Police Chief Superintendent John Klepczarek and another senior constable entered the hospital on Tuesday, shortly after police confirmed that Senior Constable White had been suspended on pay following the incident.
Senior Constable White, a former firefighter and police officer with 12 years of experience, had worked in the Monaro command for at least three years conducting domestic violence and other crime investigations.

She slowly approached Sen. Const White on a walker, holding a steak knife in a treatment room at about 4 a.m. last Wednesday when he tasered the demented patient.
The blast caused Mrs. Rowland to fall and hit her head, causing a cerebral hemorrhage.
