Authorities in the US state of California say eight people have been killed and several others injured after a gunman opened fire at a train yard in San Jose, the latest in a recent uptick of mass shootings across the United States.
The shooting took place early on Wednesday morning at a light rail facility operated by the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), a major transit service located next door to the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department.
Officials said the alleged attacker, confirmed to be a VTA employee, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
“When our deputies went through the door, initially he was still firing rounds. When our deputy saw him, he took his life,” Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith told reporters.
