hey all, local here. posted a few hours ago in crimes in news.

this has been an excellent live:

LIVE: 9 people killed in San Jose VTA rail yard shooting; suspect among the dead

Today, the day of the shooting at the streetcar facility, is the 125th anniversary of what is still North America's deadliest streetcar disaster. A section of the Point Ellice Bridge in Victoria, BC, gave way under a streetcar loaded with belated celebrants of Queen Victoria's birthday (55 dead). Was the same day as the last tsar's coronation, and just four days before almost 1400 were trampled to death at a belated celebration of this coronation.

Yes, and was maybe recently terminated from his job ?

Regardless, he had no right.
What a monstrous act, to murder those innocent people.

May those precious souls rest in gentle peace.
My utmost condolences to their grieving loved ones ; what a terrible day for them !

so far they say "long time employee" not former. i am guessing he got a disciplinary and felt the union didnt help him, a certain benefit was eliminated or reduced, or plain out mental issue.

on the live, they were talking about a family who couldnt get a hold of their family member and their "find my iphone" showed them at the VTA yard

 

[SoCalDavidS]

I hope there is a full and lengthy investigation, so this sort of thing doesn't happen again.

FBI, ATF, DHS to be involved in investigation. governor newsom on scene.

bomb robot to be used at the VTA facility.

 

[cvaldez1975]

they are saying that the gunman likely killed himself when he realized there was no way out, however, i speculate he never planned on coming home because he set it on fire.
