Gunman a highly disgruntled employee who reportedly wrote he hated VTA By Jill Tucker, Lauren Hepler and Sarah Ravani
The gunman appears to have left no note, no explanation for why he walked into a San Jose rail yard Wednesday morning and shot nine coworkers, but investigators have found a common theme in his past: He hated his workplace.
“Based on recent developments in the investigation, we can say that the suspect has been a highly disgruntled VTA employee for many years,” said the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.
It’s still unclear whether Samuel James Cassidy targeted specific individuals. Unlike many other mass shootings, there were no others injured. Everyone who was shot died.

A shooting at a rail yard in San Jose, California, left nine people dead, including the gunman, and others injured, authorities said Wednesday. Many details remained unknown.
What the Authorities Are Saying
Deputy Russell Davis, a spokesperson for the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, said the investigation was centered on 101 W. Younger Ave., the site of a maintenance and dispatch center for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.
Davis said police started receiving 911 calls about 6:34 a.m. local time. He said deputies arrived at the hub and found “multiple victims that were shot at the scene.” He later told reporters that eight people were killed.
