San Jose, California, officials said for more than a year, local transit employees battled the dangers of Covid-19 -- only to now fall victim to another epidemic: gun violence.
At least eight people were killed Wednesday morning when a gunman opened fire at a public transit rail yard in San Jose. The victims were employees of the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). "These folks were heroes during Covid-19, the buses never stopped running, VTA didn't stop running, they just kept at work," Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez said at a news conference.
The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
