The gunman who opened fire at a San Jose light rail facility, killing nine people, had two semi-automatic handguns and 11 magazines, a Santa Clara County Sheriff's spokesman confirmed to CBS News. The weapons were found near his body, CBS San Francisco reported.
The gunman fired 39 shots and appeared to target some of the victims, employees of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, which operates the rail yard, Sheriff Laurie Smith told The Associated Press on Thursday. The gunman, 57-year-old VTA employee Sam Cassidy, took his own life. The shooter arrived at the light rail facility around 6 a.m. Wednesday carrying the weapons and the high-capacity magazines in a duffel bag, Smith told the AP. She said there are no cameras inside the rail yard's two buildings, but said surveillance footage captured him moving from one location to the next. Five victims were discovered in one building and two in another, Smith said.More Related News
