Surveillance footage from a neighbor’s home caught the ultimate time San Jose shooter left for his work at a local rail yard carrying a duffle bag packed with guns.
At around 5:40 a.m. and less than an hour before he went on a rampage at the VTA Light Rail Facility in San Jose, Samuel Cassidy walked calmly out to his white Ford F-150.
The 54-year-old was sporting his work fluorescent train outfit and a railroad cap as he lifted the large bag of weaponry out of his Ramblewood home and loaded it into his passenger seat.
Nearly 10 miles away, he gunned down nine coworkers and seriously injured several others before taking his own life.
He also managed to have his home reduced to ashes at around the same time as the bloodbath using explosive devices and gasoline.
“I’d say hello and he’d just look at me without saying anything,” Doug Suh said of his across-the-street neighbor.”
“One day I was backing out of his driveway and he yelled at me, ‘Don’t even go on my driveway!’ After that, I never talked to him again.”
Suh added that Cassidy was “lonely” and “strange” and that he doesn’t recall spotting him with a friend or relative before.
