SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A gunman who killed nine co-workers at a Northern California rail yard shot himself twice in the head as sheriff’s deputies raced into a building, according to authorities who on Tuesday released body-camera footage of the tense encounter.

The nearly 4 1/2 minutes of footage is from one deputy who arrived minutes after the first shooting reports and while shots were still being fired at the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority bus and rail yard in San Jose, where 57-year-old Samuel Cassidy opened fire before killing himself.

..shot himself twice in the head..

The gunman had shot himself under the chin then put the gun to the side of his head, the sheriff said.

Well, that seems improbable but I suppose possible if he still had consciousness after the first shot.

The 4 1/2 min video was pulled but there is still a short version available.

Video proof that when your life is on the line, police are minutes away. They are human....they are taking TIME and precaution clearing the building all while people die in GUN FREE ZONES.

Want to live longer? Stay away from gun free zones AND CARRY.

So a crazy man with a gun kills multiple people and the gun control freaks blame the object and not the person.

It must make the libs nuts because the shooter was "only" using hand guns, and not the DEADLY ASSAULT WEAPON THE AR-15.

I am sorry for all victims of crimes of violence, whether it is guns, knives or clubs or frozen water bottles.

Between 1962 and 1984, the gun control freaks “Only wanted to register and ban handguns! Rifles will not be affected!”

Then in 1984, James Huberty shot up the McDonalds in San Ysidro CA, and the control freaks went hog wild over “A-s-s-s-ault Rifles” because they looked more scary than a handgun.

Cassidy supposedly shooting himself in the head TWICE seems improbable at best.

More likely one of the cops either saw him holding a pistol and shot him when he refused to “DROP THE GUN!!! SHOW YOUR HANDS!!!” (because he was dead) or the cop may have delivered a coup de grace to a mortally wounded man.

The other possibility is that Cassidy knew something about Hillary’s emails.

I remember reading an account of a police detective
who told of an ex-boxer who killed himself in NYC.
He had shot himself SEVEN times, with a revolver!

A Mississippi sheriff determined that my brother was a suicide. Two shots to the right side of his head. With a gun in his left hand. Which was inoperable.

So, happens all the time.</s>

Nobody shoots themselves in the head twice, unless the first was just a grazing shot, then maybe.

It’s happened many times. Many people have shot themselves more than once in the brain. A head shot to cause a successful stun needs to be aimed at specific parts of the brain and in specific directions.
