Robert O. Homme

Robert Onan Homme (born c. 1941) is an American former diplomat. A native of Duluth, Minnesota, he joined the United States Foreign Service in 1962 and ambassador to Costa Rica from March to July 1993.

On 24 March 1984, at approximately 8:55 am, he was shot five times at close range as he left for work. He was admitted to Hautepierre Hospital for the wounds he received. The attack was carried out by a gunman who walked up to his car and fired a 7.65-millimeter revolver, police said. Police described the assailant who fired at Homme as a man in his 30s, of Asian or Mediterranean origin, wearing a beige overcoat. He fled the scene on a motorcycle. The Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions (LARF) claimed involvement in the attack.

He was married and has three children.
