Samuel Cassidy had weapons and ammunition in the house

The gunman who killed nine people at a Northern California light rail station earlier this week hid an arsenal of weapons and ammunition in his home, which he lit as part of his planned rampage. “Petrol, suspected Molotov cocktails, twelve firearms and about 22,000 rounds of various types of ammunition were at his home,” Santa Clara County Police Office said in a statement Friday. “This was clearly a planned event and the suspect was prepared for that.” He used his firearms to kill as many lives as possible, the sheriff’s representatives could not enter to stop his rampage. ”Before the gunman left his home Wednesday morning, he set a timer or slow burning device to set his home on fire, according to Laurie Smith, the mayor of Santa Clara County. She said he was in possession of three 9mm semi-automatic pistols as well as 32 high-capacity magazines loaded with additional ammunition, while officers initially found “potentially explosive materials” in the gunman’s home and the Transportation Authority in Santa Clara Valley. No explosives are eventually found, and the office said: “Co-workers have described the suspect as indignant, and investigators are investigating his relationship with the Legionnaires’ Office of Investigators.” Railroad attack A complex scheme with little motive in mind exclusively: San Jose was not alerted that the FBI A Railroad Yard Killer was once detained for terrorist books and hateful graffiti, says DA In 2016, US Customs and Border Protection stopped Cassidy on a flight back from the Philippines and was found to have expressed his hatred for the rail yard he was working on, according to a ministerial memo.

Cassidy found that Cassidy had “books on terror and fear and statements … as well as a black diary book filled with loads of notes on how he hates the VTA,” according to the memo. When asked if he has had problems with anyone at work, Cassidy said “no,” according to the memo. Local law enforcement authorities in the San Jose area were never notified of the warrant or Cassidy’s detention, Santa Clara County Attorney Jeff Rosen said in an interview with USA TODAY. He indicated that his office, along with the local authorities and the gunman’s employer, might be able to intervene and stop the attack from taking place. “The DA’s office was not notified,” Rosen said, adding that he was not aware of any agency in the area that had been informed of this information. “I would like to know this in 2016.” On Friday, a VTA spokesperson said, in response to a question about whether Cassidy had said or done anything to make employees uncomfortable, he said the authority was reviewing all records relating to Cassidy.

The father told the outlets that there was “no hint” of what his son had planned, adding that they had not seen Samuel Cassidy much and rarely heard him complain about anything. James Cassidy told Mercury News: “He never pointed out anything that was wrong at all.” But his father said that his son suffers from bipolar disorder, although it is “no excuse” for what happened. The gunman’s father did not clarify whether he had been diagnosed with the disorder or whether he had been treated before. Witnesses say the shooting targeted certain people, and the contents of the memo were “from the outside” consistent with the image that law enforcement has so far drawn of a man who appears to have stirred hatred against the people he worked with for a decade. While Cassidy shot nine other employees before committing suicide, witnesses say he targeted certain people. Smith, the sheriff, said Cassidy told at least one person “I’m not going to shoot you” before shooting the others. “So I imagine there is some sort of thinking about who wants to be shot,” Smith said.
