CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Raymond Ice learned last week that he had 14 days to leave a Cleveland shelter for veterans, officials said, but they stressed the Air Force veteran was not being put on the street.
Ice was told he would have to leave the Volunteers of America shelter on East 152nd Street because he was not following a case-management plan established by counselors. The facility specializes in finding income and housing services for veterans.
Counselors were trying to place Ice in another program, said Mike Salois, director of program and services for the company's centers in Mansfield and Cleveland.
"We don't discharge them to the streets," Salois said.
Ice attacked the center's manager, Rita Ciofani with an ax Wednesday morning, police said. Police were then called to the center. Ice refused to drop the ax and a knife and was shot by a veteran officer, police said.
