The voice of Paul Delacruz Megia’s father grew lighter as he shared what a joy it had been to work alongside his son at the Valley Transportation Authority in San Jose.
Megia joined the agency in the early 2000s so he could pay to attend college, his father said. He was laid off after a few months but decided to return several years later to begin a career there.
“We really enjoyed seeing each other because he would be on the light rail and I would be on the bus,” his father recalled, describing how they would wave at each other. “It was a happy time.”

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – A gunman who killed nine people at a California rail yard where he worked appeared to target some of the victims, a sheriff told The Associated Press on Thursday, while a Biden administration official said the shooter spoke of hating his workplace when customs officers detained him after a 2016 trip to the Philippines.
Samuel Cassidy, 57, arrived at the light rail facility for the Valley Transportation Authority in San Jose around 6 a.m. Wednesday with a duffel bag filled with semi-automatic handguns and high-capacity magazines, Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith said.
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.
