The three victims were identified as female mental health professionals, including two employees of a counseling service for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. 

The suspect had held hostages at the Veterans Home of California in Yountville, where a going-away party was being held for some departing employees.

The suspect, who authorities identified as Albert Wong, 36, was an ex-patient of the facility. He had exchanged gunfire with police before taking the women hostage, CNN reported.
