YOUNTVILLE, Calif.—Three women and a gunman who held them hostage at a California home for U.S. war veterans were found dead inside the room where he was holed up on Friday March 9, bringing a tragic end to an all-day standoff with police at the facility, authorities said.
A state senator whose district includes the area, Bill Dodd, earlier told reporters that the gunman was a member of Pathway Home, a program housed at the complex for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. The hostages were believed to be employees who had worked with him at the sprawling facility, he said.
