San Jose shooting victim Taptejdeep Singh warned colleagues as rampage was happening, brother says As Wednesday’s San Jose workplace shooting was underway, Taptejdeep Singh was calling colleagues and shepherding others, warning them to hide or stay away, his brother says, citing witnesses. Singh, 36, and eight other Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) workers were fatally shot by a colleague in two buildings in the Northern California city Wednesday morning, before the gunman killed himself, officials have said. “(Singh) was calling colleagues,” his brother Karman Gill told CNN on Friday morning. “As I’m told by his coworkers, he was telling them to go hide — and died fighting.”
