We are saddened by the tragedy at the Yountville State Veterans Home. Our sympathies are with the families, friends and colleagues who are grieving for those who lost their lives. blogs.va.gov/VAntage/46269/m…
Nothing is more important than caring for our Veterans and employees during this time, and the VA is providing mobile resources at the location to assist those dealing with this incident and to employees impacted across the country.
We know the unfailing commitment that these brave employees had to working with Veterans during some of their most challenging times; and we are committed to continuing to try to make sure these events do not happen again.
We are deeply saddened and affected by the tragic outcome of the hostage situation at the Veterans Home of California in Yountville and extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones involved. We ask for patience as we continue to monitor emerging details.
We are closely monitoring the reported hostage situation at the Yountville Veterans Home in California, stand ready to assist Veterans in need there and are hopeful for a peaceful resolution.
