Employees are among the victims.
Eight people were killed in a shooting at the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) control center in San Jose, California, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect, a male VTA employee, is also dead, sheriff's spokesperson Russell Davis said. The suspect's cause of death has not been determined, officials said at a news conference.
Multiple sources told ABC News the shooting is suspected workplace violence.
VTA employees are among the victims, Davis said. Local leaders noted at a news conference that VTA employees are essential workers who went to work each day during the pandemic.
The shooting was reported around 6:30 a.m. local time at a VTA hub where maintenance is conducted and trains are stored. The facility was evacuated, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said.
