SAN JOSE, Calif. (Reuters) A California transit employee killed eight co-workers and wounded another before taking his own life on Wednesday in the latest of a spate of deadly mass U.S. shootings, prompting the state s governor to ask: What the hell is wrong with us?
Authorities did not immediately offer many details or a possible motive for the shooting, which unfolded about 6:30 a.m. Pacific Time at a light-rail yard for commuter trains of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA).
A bomb squad was searching the yard and adjacent buildings after at least one explosive device was found, Santa Clara County Sheriff s Deputy Russell Davis said at a news conference.
