SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — An employee opened fire Wednesday at a California rail yard serving Silicon Valley, killing eight people before ending his own life, authori- ties said. The suspect was an employee of the Val- ley Transportation Authority, which pro- vides bus, light rail and other transit ser- vices throughout Santa Clara County, the largest county in the Bay Area, authorities said. The attacker was identified as 57-year-old Sam Cassidy, according to two law enforce- ment officials. Investigators offered no immediate word on a possible motive. The shooting took place around 6:30 a.m. at a light rail facility that includes a transit- control center, parking for trains and a maintenance yard. Sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Russell Davis said the attack also resulted in “mul- tiple major injuries.” He did not know the type of weapon used. He said the victims included VTA employees. Authorities did not release any of the victims’ names. “These folks were heroes during COV- ID-19. The buses never stopped running, VTA didn’t stop running.
