On March 9, 2018, a murder–suicide shooting took place at the Veterans Home of California in Yountville, California, United States.[2] The Pathway Home is a residential treatment program meant to help post-9/11 veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury reintegrate into society.[3] The shooter, Albert Wong, had attended the program until the home's executive director, Christine Loeber, dismissed him earlier in the week.[4]
