Murder/Suicide Ends Standoff At San Diego-Area Casino
LAKESIDE -Two people were fatally shot at the East County offices of the Barona Gaming Commission today in an apparent murder-suicide carried out by a former agency employee who was fired last month.
The assailant, identified by sheriff’s officials as 38-year-old Donnell Roberts of El Cajon, entered a personnel trailer office at the Lakeside-area complex with a shotgun about 10 a.m., told several receptionists to leave and began shooting, Sheriff Bill Gore told reporters.
The attack prompted an armed standoff that ended about 2:30 p.m., when deputies sent a camera-equipped remote-control device into the office and determined that two people, including Roberts, were dead inside, Gore said.
