A gunman opened fire on a union meeting at a train yard close to San Jose’s airport Wednesday morning — leaving at least eight people dead and “multiple people” injured, according to officials and reports.
The suspect, believed to be a 50-year-old male, attacked the VTA Light Rail Facility on West Younger Avenue around 6:30 a.m. local time during a union gathering and then killed himself, according to the Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office and the Los Angeles Times, which cited law enforcement sources.

Fodder for a day at the range.
I’ve never belonged to a union. Are union meetings at 6:30 am typical?
Samuel Cassidy according to local NBC. There was a fire at his home. This may be an exception to Coulter’s Law.
Quite a surprise since the media says that only white people commit mass shootings.....
No matter how this one turns out, data says otherwise...
You were safer on a NYC trolley Car in the 1870s.

The gunman who killed eight people at a San Jose rail yard was an employee who apparently set his own home on fire before the bloodbath, authorities said. Samuel J. Cassidy, 57, worked for the Valley Transportation Authority; he reportedly took his own life after the shooting. His father, 88-year-old James Edward Cassidy, told The Daily Beast that his son “seemed completely himself” in recent days and didn’t appear to be holding a grudge. “He didn’t talk about his job or politics. I just found out he was dead and his house on fire and all that a minute ago,” he said.

Not sure about Union meetings, but 06:30 is likely between night shift and day shift making the reach likely increased.
Coulter’s Law of Screeching Harpy?
One of my female in laws was an RN all of her adult life.
She told her nephews and other young male relatives, to never marry a skinny/self/starving woman. I will leave out her very descriptive words describing skinny/self/starving women
Same guy...?
I never heard of that law, either; but it’s dead nuts accurate. What ever became of Ms. Coulter, anyway?
Probably!
Union pay with Railroads, if they can stay open, has been incredible for at least 6 decades.
democrat policies.
I’ve been disgruntled ever since last November.
To say the least.
That's such a good thing. You never had to habit restrooms at the bus station in a sad attempt to get your self respect back.
Looks like we’re gonna have to have more Union election!
