The "official" response is that it was an accident. No Foul Play involved. Supposedly, the engineer is cooperating with authorities, even though he is in critical condition. So we'll see what happened.
Realistically, unless someone shot the engineer, I doubt anything could have happened to him. There are redundant break systems on the train so I doubt it was a fault in the breaks. Sometimes, the conductors will even practice applying the hand break as the train is rolling into the terminal in addition to the engineer hitting his/her breaks.
