GRAPHIC: Dispatch transcript from Colorado Springs birthday party shooting

 

Multiple people dead in a shooting at a transportation yard in downtown San Jose. Shooter is dead. It isn't immediately clear how many dead.

Santa Clara County SO: Nine dead, including the suspect. Not sure if latter was shot by law enforcement or killed himself. And, yes, a white male. Worked for VTA, the county's transit agency.

KCBS radio also reporting suspect's house was set on fire before the shooting. Firefighters reported seeing weapons and explosives inside the house.
