Suicide gunman kills three at home for elderly
A gunman has killed three people at a high-rise retirement home in America before taking his own life.
Officers were fired upon at least six times as they arrived at the scene at Chula Vista, California.
Inside the lobby, officers found the bodies of a woman and a man. A third victim was found hours later.
Authorities believe all the victims were residents of the building. They did not release their identities.
Police identified the gunman as Eugene Molter, 68, who had lived on the 15th floor of the apartment complex for six years.
Police did not immediately reveal details of how the gunman died. One officer suffered minor injuries.
Tactical units, aided by police helicopters, had searched the building and surrounding area for the gunman. Police sealed off a huge swathe of the city, 9 miles south of San Diego.
