Two women and a man were killed on Tuesday in an apparent murder-suicide at a senior center.

The shooting was at the Golden West Tower in Torrance, California, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Employees at the senior center said the alleged killer was a resident. The two victims of the shooting were a manager of the center and a caregiver.

Sergeant Robert Watt of the Torrance Police Department said the names of the victims had not been released and they are still trying to figure out a motive.

The alleged suspect, who was said to be in his 80s, has had violent outbursts in the past and had recently shown his anger towards the two victims according to an employee, theAssociated Press reports.

An employee at the Golden Tower, Alex Galindo, said, “People knew that he was a little bit off. People were warned, but nobody did anything, so I know there’s going to be blood on a lot of people’s hands. That’s all I can say at this point.”

Many employees were trying to have the man kicked out of the complex due to his behavior and Watt said the management has received complaints about the shooter but never informed police.
