He also appeared to target specific employees in his rampage at the rail yard, according to the local sheriff. Five years before the suspected San Jose gunman opened fire at a rail yard facility and killed 10 people, including himself, U.S. Customs stopped him and found him carrying a manifesto that documented his hatred for his workplace. (…) He was scheduled to have a disciplinary meeting the day of the massacre, an unnamed source told KPIX. During the hearing, members of the VTA were scheduled to address the gunman on his past behavior with work-related issues. The nine victims of the shooting were all co-workers of the suspect at the VTA hub, according to CNN. They were identified by the county’s medical examiner as: Adrian Balleza, 29; Jose Dejesus Hernandez III, 35; Taptejdeep Singh, 36; Michael Joseph Rudometkin, 40; Paul Delacruz Megia, 42; Timothy Michael Romo, 49; Alex Ward Fritch, 49; Abdolvahab Alaghmandan, 63; and Lars Kepler Lane, 63. Near the area when the alleged gunman died by suicide, police originally found two semi-automatic pistols and 11 magazines, which appeared to be legal, according to local enforcement. A third handgun was later found at the scene, according to CNN. He may have also had more ammunition at home.
