BINGHAMTON (AP) -- The sister of the man who shot and killed 13 people inside the Binghamton immigrant center says her family was "surprised and very shocked" to learn that he was the gunman.
In an interview on NBC's "Today" show Monday morning, Jiverly Wong's sister said she had "occasional communications" with him but hadn't lived in the same house together for 20 years.
The woman, whose name wasn't given during the interview, said her 41-year-old younger sibling kept his feelings to himself.
"I can see that he was very depressed about losing his job and very frustrated from his English speaking skills," she said. "He didn't share any of his talks and feelings."
She said her family was "very sorry for all the victims and their families."
