The shots rang in the area near downtown San Jose and next to the local airport began to sound around 06:30 local time (15:30 CEST), the AP agency reported. The complex, which is near the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, has decommissioned and maintained the trains. It is the site of the VTA transportation company, which manages public transportation in and around San Jose.
Police first reported an unspecified number of dead and injured, and about four hours after the shooting, they reported the balance of nine dead, with several other people injured. According to the authorities, it has not yet been determined how the perpetrator died; however, the San Francisco Chronicle server writes that he committed suicide.

According to official statements, this is a man who worked for VTA. Investigators have not yet indicated his age, as well as the weapon he fired from. In addition to him, other employees of the transport company also apparently died.
Pyrotechnicians also intervened at the site of the bloodshed, with “several explosive devices” inside one of the buildings, the San Francisco Chronicle writes. The investigation into the shooting itself was suspended because of this. “It will take some time … to secure the premises so that investigators can move at the scene,” said Sheriff’s Office spokesman Russell Davis.
