‘I can confirm with you at this point that there are eight victims that are pronounced deceased at this point. And there’s one suspect that’s pronounced deceased,’ said Russell Davis, a Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputy, warning that the numbers could rise.
The suspect in a mass shooting was an employee of the local transit authority, police said.
