Body-camera video from a Santa Clara County sheriff’s deputy shows the first law enforcement team that entered a San Jose light rail yard to locate the gunman who took the lives of nine people last Wednesday.
The footage, released Tuesday evening by the sheriff’s office, follows a team that consisted of a sheriff’s sergeant, a deputy and three San Jose police officers, Lt. Aaron Simonson said during a media briefing.
Deputies were dispatched to the Valley Transportation Authority’s rail yard at 6:35 a.m., a minute after the first 911 call came in. The yard is located in a cluster of public buildings, including the San Jose Police Department and the Santa Clara Sheriff’s Department.

The Investigative Unit examines the initial law enforcement response to Wednesday’s VTA mass shooting. Deputies and officers acted quickly, but historically.
In August 2018, Frederick s Chris Watts killed his pregnant wife, Shanann, before taking the lives of Celeste and Bella, their two young daughters. The shocking acts quickly resulted in wall-to-wall cable-news coverage, and in the years since, multiple documentarians and filmmakers have explored the subject.
Arguably the worst of these projects was
American Murder: The Family Next Door, which launched on Netflix last September. The documentary is assembled almost entirely of video or images shared online by Shanann or footage from the investigation into her disappearance, including body-camera clips that seem to capture every inch of the living space the couple shared. The house is practically another character in a film that chillingly transforms the roomy, tastefully appointed suburban spread into a backdrop for evil at its purest.
