In the early hours of a Wednesday morning in San Jose, California, the ordinary rhythms of a transit worker's shift were shattered when gunfire broke out inside a secured VTA rail yard. Multiple employees were killed and others wounded before law enforcement contained the scene, leaving a community to reckon once again with the particular grief of violence visited upon a workplace — a place where people had simply arrived to do their jobs. The shooter, too, is dead, and the questions that remain are the ones that always follow: how, and why, and what it means that such mornings keep arriving.
