Shooting at Light Rail office. Multiple dead including shooter.

Edited because of incorrect time given on national news.

It appears the shooting took place during a labor union meeting. 9 dead confirmed including shooter. There may be more.
Catching up from when I was on vacation. Here is the Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_San_Jose_shooting

May 26, 2021, 6:33 AM PDT, San Jose, CA (specifically 37N21'15", 121W54'30").

Ten people died (including the shooter, a 57-year-old male employee). It is important as "the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the San Francisco Bay Area." He left home at 5:39 AM after setting his house on fire (by ammunition 'cooking' on his stove, timed to go off concurrent with his planned shooting). The San Jose fire department got an alarm at 6:33 AM, then at 6:34 AM 911 got a call about shots fired (so I'm using 6:33 as the time the shooting began).

The nine people he shot seemed to be for personal reasons: He knew them all, singled out who he was shooting, and pointedly spared others. He killed himself as police moved in on him. A financial motive is also suspected, based on a recent company policy change that impacted his income.

The Capsolar is dominated by the single most common foreground aspect for mass shootings. The Liblunar is deadly. Both the CapQ and CanQ are painfully on target.
