A California light-rail employee who survived a mass shooting in May when a colleague killed nine co-workers has died by apparent suicide, police and agency officials said.
Henry Gonzales, a paint and body worker for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, was discovered dead by police in San Jose early Monday. His death is being investigated as suicide, KTVU reported.
Gonzales, a married father of four and a 10-year VTA veteran, was in one of the buildings at the San Jose rail yard when fellow employee Samuel Cassidy, 57, gunned down nine of his colleagues on May 26 before shooting himself in the head, KNTV reported.

Was Cassidy being bullied by fellow employees?
hmmmm indeed.
Cassidy only shot men he deliberately didn’t shoot women. I don’t know if that was reported by the media.
I don’t think I even recall this one. I remember some of these mass killings but a lot of them seem to blur over time.
Union officials said Gonzales, who worked at the VTA’s Guadalupe Light Rail Yard, was an executive board member
But in our society, someone has to be responsible and maybe too many pointed at him.
Dad always had a saying. “When one pig squeals, the rest gang up on him.”
That’s a tremendous personal shock to witness and live through. Some in that situation need to talk about it, but don’t know who will listen. Some refuse counseling,
“because they’re not crazy.”
A shootout as described here, would normally have a rippling effect, a resonance of severity that effects everyone in a slightly different way, and not all at the same time.
Survivor guilt is a terrible thing
Quite possibly survivor’s guilt.
