YOUNTVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Three workers for a program that treats veterans for post-traumatic stress disorder were found dead Friday along with the suspect who took them hostage in a daylong standoff at the largest veterans home in the U.S., officials said. The three female victims were employees of the nonprofit organization Pathway Home treatment program, which is housed on the campus of the Veterans Home of California-Yountville. ADVERTISEMENTNapa County Sheriff John Robertson declined to identify the victims and the gunman Friday night, saying family members still needed to be notified. The Pathway Home, a privately run program on the grounds of the veterans home, treats veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars with post-traumatic stress disorder. Jan Thornton of Vallejo, California, was among hundreds of relatives worried about how their loved ones were coping with the lockdown.
