California officials have released the identities of the gunman and the three hostages he killed Friday at a veterans facility in Northern California.
The suspect has been identified as 36-year-old Albert Wong who was found dead Friday evening at the Veterans Home of California-Yountville.
The dead hostages were all mental health workers at Pathway Home, a facility for combat veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder. They were Christiane Loeber, 48; Jen Golick, 42; and Jennifer Gonzalez, 29.
Pathway Home said in a statement: "These brave women were accomplished professionals, dedicated to their careers of serving our nation's veterans, working closely with those of the greatest need of attention."
Officials say Wong had been recently asked to leave a program at Pathway. The reason for his departure was not immediately clear.
Authorities said that the gunman suffered with PTSD and had served in the Middle East.
The bodies were discovered nearly eight hours after Wong entered a Pathway staff meeting.
"This is a tragic piece of news," said California Highway Patrol spokesman Chris Childs.
It was not immediately clear when the gunman and his hostages died.Authorities had attempted to contact the gunman throughout the day.
Radio transmission exchanges between police and dispatchers, the San Francisco Chronicle reports, described him as wearing "a stash of bullets around his neck" and his waist.
The California Department of Veterans Affairs describes its facility in Yountville "as a community of and for veterans. Founded in 1884, VHC-Yountville is the largest veterans' home in the United States, offering residential accommodations with a wealth of recreational, social, and therapeutic activities for independent living. Some 1,000 aged or disabled veterans (both men and women) or World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, and Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom now live at the home."
The entire complex was on a security lockdown during the siege.
Scenic Napa County, about 97 kilometers north of San Francisco,is home to many of Northern California wineries.
The veterans home siege comes less than a month after a former student walked into his Florida high school and shot 17 people, igniting a student-led campaign for new restrictions on gun sales in the U.S.
