Presser should be coming up soon, if they actually do it on time. IMHO

According to scanner traffic, Napa County authorities received reports of a man with a gun on the campus about 10:20 a.m. Dispatchers told responding sheriff's deputies that the man was wearing all black and was a former resident at the 600-acre facility.
Deputies were told the gunman served in Afghanistan and was holed up with possibly three hostages on the second floor of a building where a nonprofit serves veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

"He's in Madison Hall, Building G, the Pathway House," the dispatcher tells deputies. "Units be advised he does have a stash of bullets around his neck."

Swat has left the building and got in vehicle and are leaving. Guessing there is a good chance the threat has been neutralized...IMHO As observed on https://www.facebook.com/abc7chicago/videos/vb.165583971161/10156586351041162/?type=2&theater

The Latest: Tactical Teams Planning How to Deal With Gunman

6:10 p.m.

Authorities have not had contact with the gunman holding three people hostage for nearly eight hours and police tactical teams are forming plans on how to deal with the ongoing situation at a veterans home in California.

California Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Robert Nacke told reporters that "there has not been any confirmed communication with the gunman since 10:30 in the morning."

Nacke called the situation at the veterans home "dynamic and active" and said he had no information about the hostages or their conditions.

He says tactical teams are "deciding which way to move forward."

Officials said those being held are employees of The Pathway Home, a privately run program on the veterans home's grounds.

I feared this would be the outcome after so many hours passed without any contact. Heartbreaking! [emoji22]

All victims female staff. Apparently one was the executive director.

Awful.

State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, said the gunman was a member of the Pathway Home, a program for war veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Dodd said all the hostages were employees who worked with the suspect in the program, including Executive Director Christine Loeber.

Such a sad ending. I'd hoped for a better outcome.

 

[Jennifer17]

I wonder what his beef was with those women, that he appears to have singled out?

 

[Lilibet]

Are we looking at another “injustice collector”?

 

[bluesneakers]

I think we’re looking at someone with a severe case of PTSD.
