SAN JOSE, Calif. – A Northern California rail yard worker who gunned down nine other employees before taking his own life appeared to target his victims and fired more than 39 shots, the Santa Clara County sheriff said Thursday.
The gunman, whose ex-wife says struggled with anger issues, told at least one person: I’m not going to shoot you, Sheriff Laurie Smith said. And then he shot other people. So I imagine there was some kind of thought on who he wanted to shoot.
