Mayor Sam Liccardo said Thursday a ninth person had died. Now, all we can do is what we must: support our families and coworkers in pain, and assist their journey to healing, Liccardo tweeted.
The gunman, an employee at the sprawling Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) light rail hub, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and other employees were among the victims, police spokesman Russell Davis said Wednesday.
The gunman who also took his own life occasionally discussed shooting his co-workers because he was dissatisfied at work, according to his ex-wife.
