Three women were shot dead during a day-long standoff at a veterans home in California on Friday, March 9 after a gunman entered a staff meeting and held them hostage.

Authorities said the three women had dedicated their lives to helping veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the gunman was a former patient at the Pathway Home treatment program for which they worked.
