I got stuck in two accidents forcing me through neighborhoods for an hour so I've only had KNX on...they've had a lot of interviews with passengers on the trains.

Baca (as those of you watching any news probably heard) was VERY outraged (his words) at the vehicle that caused this and about how everyone knows not to stop on the tracks, etc.

(I've not read through the rest of the thread, so sorry if I repeat this next part)

A uniformed officer on his way to work (but it sounded like he's one that might patrol trains from what Baca said? Got a little lost at his explanation) was killed on one of the MetroLink trains. His next of kin was notified and Baca released his name.

9 confirmed fatalities (as of the 8:40ish press conference)

Sheriff Baca talking again. The driver is talking to the police. They are not saying he is in custody, but Baca is not talking about what he said, but DID just say the vehicle was not stalled but put on the tracks deliberately. Appears intentional. Sheriff very upset, barely containing anger, but remain professional.
