Eight people are dead after an employee opened fire at a San Francisco Bay Area transit agency.
The San Jose shootings Wednesday occurred at the Valley Transportation Authority.
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo says ``this is a horrific day for our city.''
He spoke after a shooting took place at the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority rail yard in San Jose this morning.
Officials say the dead include transit employees and the suspect.
There's no motive given yet.
The mass shootings this year follow a lull in mass killings during the pandemic in 2020, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University.
That database tracks mass killings defined as four or more dead, not including the shooter.
Among the latest attacks were shootings at three Atlanta-area massage businesses and one at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, Indiana.
