The suspect who police say killed 9 people at a San Jose, California, light rail yard Wednesday morning was due to attend a disciplinary hearing that day over claims of racist remarks he made on the job about co-workers, according to reports.
Cassidy appeared to be a "highly disgruntled VTA employee for many years, which may have contributed to why he targeted VTA employees," the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Thursday. Cassidy had worked at the VTA for nine years. Five years ago, Cassidy was detained by U.S. customs and border personnel over some suspicious writing in his possession as he returned from a trip to the Philippines.More Related News
