GRAPHIC: Bodycam footage shows Officers responding to the VTA shooting in #SanJose where an employee opened fire, killing 9 & then himself.

The gunman shot himself in the head twice, the coroner says—once under the chin and then in the side of his head.

"Although rare, this can occur in suicides in which the first shot to the head was not immediately fatal," the coroner said.


Video has the sound of the 2 gunshots. They blurred out his head in the footage.

He was probably just distraught knowing he was gonna get charged with attempted suicide after the first one.

Well, at least the a-hole suffered a few seconds before he finished himself off.

Guess I missed another mass shooting. Don’t even care to keep track of them at this point.

"Surely he shot himself and then hid the gun?"

I heard more than two gunshots, and they sounded a bit different. Could be distance to the shot.

A gun shot under the chin can avoid critical areas and a patient can survive for weeks.

There was a mass shooting in San Jose?!? These happen so much now, I can't keep up with them anymore.

I unfortunately have heard the recording of a guy that committed suicide while on the phone with a suicide prevention hot line. His first shot to the head didn’t kill him, from the screaming it was incredibly painful, and he quickly finished the job with a second shot. I have also been in a hospital ER when a women who tried to end here life by shooting herself in the head was brought in. She did a lot of damage to the front of her head, but she was alert and talking.

I recall some teenage girl years ago tried to kill herself, but instead just blew her face off yet lived.

Right, we might as well fly the flag at half mast permanently at this point.

A person shooting themselves in the head twice is not actually a rare thing. Often times a person doesn't get it done on the first shot, but their adrenaline allows them a second try.

Really morbid topic, but not completely unusual.

I remember being shown a picture on that rotton.com website years ago. It was allegedly from an emergency room where someone had blown off their lower jaw and nose in an attempted suicide.

Dunno if that guy ultimately survived but missing your brain and destroying most of your face would make him an uncommon tinder match.
