Carnage in Glendale *

Ten people are dead and more than 200 injured after this morning's Metrolink commuter train derailment behind the Costco in Glendale. One of the dead is Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy James Tutino, and at the scene Sheriff Lee Baca lost it a bit and called the suicidal man who caused it all a murderer who deserves the death penalty. Juan Manuel Alvarez, 25, of Compton, apparently tried to commit suicide by parking his Jeep Grand Cherokee on the southbound tracks before 6 a.m. He claims he changed his mind and tried to remove the SUV, but it became stuck so he got out and watched as the Metrolink train smashed into the Jeep. The vehicle was pushed into a passing northbound Metrolink train. Both trains derailed, scattering destruction along the railroad tracks near Chevy Chase Drive. Train service could be out for a week.
