From veterans of World War II and Vietnam to those who fought 21st century wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, supporters of the nonprofit Warrior Homes of Collier gathered Wednesday in East Naples for a courtyard dedication ceremony at its recently opened Delta House. The 20-bed, 10-unit apartment complex is the first of the organization’s four local residences to serve both male and female veterans.
A man was murdered, and the shooter later killed himself in the afternoon hours on New Year's Eve at the Port of the Islands Resort, a boutique hotel and waterfront community along U.S. 41.
“I heard at least three loud shots. In my head, it’s New Year's Eve, maybe it’s fireworks. But not inside the lobby? I knew it was a gun after the third shot."
