On Friday, investigators, crime specialists and a bomb squad team were out in force at VTA gunman Sam Cassidy's home on Angmar Court. Police also revealed that Cassidy was a hoarder.
The suspected gunman who killed nine people work colleagues at a transit facility before taking his own life stockpiled an arsenal of weapons, thousands of rounds of ammunition and Molotov cocktails at his home before setting the residence ablaze the morning of the rampage, authorities said Friday.
A day after the Bay Area s deadliest mass shooting ever, local leaders gathered Thursday in San Jose to remember the nine victims lost.
