The man who yesterday, armed with an automatic weapon, had taken hostage to a veteran nursing home in California was found dead. He also killed three women workers in the facility.
According to the officials present on the spot, the soldiers who entered the structure, after a grueling and pointless negotiation, engaged in a conflict with the kidnapper, to avoid other victims.
Bill Dodd, a California senator, speaking to the local media said the attacker was a veteran with mental disorders, to which at the beginning of the week he had been removed from his residence.
"Veterans Home of California" is the largest facility in the United States entirely dedicated to former soldiers with a thousand residents where veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars stay.
