took place this morning in san jose. eight people shot and killed. the suspect dead from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. investigators are still on the scene and they will be for quite some time. this happened at the vta railyard in san jose. that is not far from the suspect's home which you will see in just a few moments. that home went up in flames before the shooting this morning. we have some video into abc 7 news. says a little bit eerie but i will share it with you. this was a neighbor who had a nest camera up from across the street. you are going to see the suspect. it is a little bit jittery here. he was leaving his house and

shortly after this the house will go up in flames. what are your observations as you see this video? >> wow! he is carrying that duffel bag. we can only guess what was in the duffel bag. equipment he was going to use, firearms most likely that he eventually used a short time later at the facility. larry, just watching him act normally walking to his pickup truck in his uniform and wearing a mask. >> the ultimate irony is he was trying to be safe as he left or just look normal. that could be another motive. police have said there were multiple weapons found on the scene. you might presume that is what was in the bag he was carrying and wearing the gear that the light rail personnel would aware. looking ordinary. this is all about at 6:30 in the morning. this is probably a little earlier than that given he had 10-11 miles to drive to the

facility. this is a scene of what looks like an ordinary scene that plays out across the bay area and america countless times throughout days weeks months and years. captured by an neighbors nest camera. it is provided to us. it is eerie to see that. >> the video is a little bit jittery so we apologize for that. we will work on it to speeded up so you see more of the tail end of it. we have team coverage of today's deadly mass shooting. we will start with chris nguyen. >> reporter: yeah. a devastating day here in san jose. a we are cupare cupare cupare cp away from where the shooting took place. the intersection behind me is still closed nearly 10 hours from when the shooting took place. this investigation unfolds. this afternoon heart ache

assist an active shooter peak reportedly eight employees at the light of where the shooter is right now. pd has multiple units code 3 and some on the scene investigating. employees are evacuating to the parking lot. it sounds like there may be active shots hurt again just right now. >> they are closing down younger. they are saying the shooter is on the third floor. still another active shot heard. we will get ambulances. in looks like again shots are still being fired. >> i don't know if this is helpful. 57 k-3 saying we need a triage on the west side of the building but i am unsure. >> younger, i see td is advising the scene isis

>> copy copy copy >> copy that. they are calling the scene to cure this saying shooter is down. you heard there. a hectic scene and a little bit of crosstalk gist of what is going on. and i look at sky 7 from the scene at the vta light rail yard on younger avenue. authorities are telling us it is going to take some time to go through not only one building but there are two buildings involved but there are concerns about possible bombs or -traps . there was a bomb sniffing dog that detect did something earlier in the day. they are going to proceed going through these buildings with an abundance of caution. they certainly don't wantdon't t

more lives put at risk. that is a part of the reason this is going to take an extended amount of time to get through and find all of the evidence involved. >> they are taking their time at the home of the suspect as well. we are learning more about the suspect. the suspect is samuel j. cassidy. a house fire was set shortly before the shootings not too far away from the vta railyard. laura anthony joins us live with more on what we have learned at the home. >> reporter: hi kristin. we have heard a lot in the last few minutes. got some chilling video from a neighbor. that is the video of the suspect leaving his home casually just after 6:30 in the morning. we think this video was shot. it is surveillance video from this neighbor. it shows this man leaving his home casually with a duffel bag, putting the duffel bag in his truck, driving away as if he were heading off to work. then it later, this neighbor gave us a separate piece of video he took from his cell phone as he was leaving this

morning. that shows this home across the street fully engulfed in flames. we think the cell phone video came. there is confusion but the cell phone video was shot maybe a few minutes after the surveillance video that showed the man living in the house believed to be sam cassidy casually leaving as if he were going to work. this is what he had to tell us about what he saw this morning. >> i saw him. i talked to him and said hi but he never talked to me and said hi. he would look and stare at me all the time. never said hi. it just wouldn't say anything. he kind of looked like a scary person. he lived alone. i never saw his friends. i never saw his families. i never saw anybody come house. he lived alone probably 20

years. >> what happened the one time when you were describing you were trying to back your car out. >> he was yelling at me do not come to my driveway. you have to get out! >> i took off. after that i never talked to him since then. >> one with that? >> that was about six months ago. after that i never said hi and i ignored him. >> we're back live at the scene down the street. they were pushed back said out of an abundance of caution for our own safety we have seen bomb squad technicians coming from san jose police, the atf, the fbi. they are all here. there are going through this house. we have seen bomb or explosive sniffing dogs. all of those have arrived in the past several hours to do what is going to be a very thorough investigation. as for what they found inside of this house, no one out here

is saying but we do know from previous statements by the mar d veators at d me ammunition inside of the home as well as some kind of fuel canisters. i talked with a san jose battalion chief who was a part of the responding firefighters this morning and he could not say whether they thought an accelerant was used to start that fire but up rather quickly and in fact went to alarms rather quickly because as the fire battalion chief told me, they were concerned about the house next door. it was starting to catch on fire. a lot of developments this afternoon. that video from the neighbor paints quite a picture. as does the interview with the neighbor that described

they have come here searching for some sort of answer. an answer to whether their mother, brother or uncle is safe alive. sadly, there has been little clarity as you can imagine is this is very early on in the investigation. unfortunately, for these families, they have been waiting for more than 9 hours at this point for any trace of their loved one. i just spoke with san jose city councilman role paralysis shared a story about a childhood friend who is a vta employee. he actually spoke about it early this morning during the press conference. unfortunately, moments ago, he heard his friend is not in good shape and he is at the hospital but they have no word. it is stories like that that are so painful. you can't begin to imagine what these families are going through. it is similar to the story we have been following since this morning. the family has been trying to search for their uncle. they have no word from his cell phone. here is what they shared today.
