A suspected gunman and three women he is believed to have killed were found dead inside a veterans home in Yountville, California, Friday evening.
The discovery came after a day-long standoff between authorities and the suspect, who has been identified as Albert Wong, a 36-year-old Afghanistan veteran. Wong was previously a patient in a PTSD program at the center, and the three women he killed are thought to be staff he encountered during treatment. The victims have been named as Christine Loeber, the veterans home's executive director; Dr. Jen Golick, a therapist; and Dr. Jennifer Gonzales, a psychologist.
