A gunman and three hostages were found dead Friday evening at a Northern California veterans care facility, concluding a stand-off that lasted for about eight hours, officials said.
Shortly before 6 p.m., officers entered the room where the gunman had been holding the hostages, officials with the California Highway Patrol said. Three women and a man, believed to be the suspect, were found dead, authorities said.
"This is a tragic piece of news, one that we were really hoping we wouldn't have to come before the public to give," said Chris Childs, assistant chief for the California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division.
At about 10:20 a.m., authorities responded to reports of shots fired at the state-run Yountville Veterans Home, where a man with a rifle had walked into the Pathway Home building and taken three employees hostage, Childs said.
