3 dead, 1 hurt in San Francisco shootingSuspect found dead from apparent suicide
SAN FRANCISCO, California (CNN) -- Three people were killed Saturday and a fourth person was critically wounded when a man entered the lobby of an apartment building housing senior citizens and began shooting, police said. Police later found the suspected gunman -- identified as 53-year-old John Bravard -- dead in his room in the same building, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot, according to Officer Jeffrey Brogan of the San Francisco Police. The identity of the victims and their ages weren't immediately known, Brogan said. The shooting happened shortly before 5 p.m. (8 p.m. ET) when Bravard allegedly entered the Dalt Hotel, a seven-story apartment building housing low-income elderly and disabled residents in the Tenderloin, a neighborhood in northeast San Francisco. "A situation arose," Brogan said, and that apparently led the suspect to take out a handgun or semiautomatic weapon -- police are not sure which -- and begin firing. When police arrived, two people lay dead and two others were wounded. The wounded were both taken to Mission Emergency Hospital, where one died and the other was in critical condition, Brogan said. Brogan said he did not know whether the gunman knew his victims. With the help of the Red Cross, a number of the building's residents were evacuated. The lobby, a crime scene, will stay closed for now, Brogan said.
