4. SAN FRANCISCO -- The man
drew the gun several times on
the crowded San Francisco
commuter train last month,
with surveillance video showing
him pointing it across the aisle
without anyone noticing and
then putting it back against his
side, according to authorities.
The other passengers were so
absorbed in their phones and
tablets they didn't notice the
gunman until he randomly shot
and killed a university student,
authorities said.
