Officer Wounded, Suspected Gunman Killed In Bay Area Shooting Spree: Reports
A carjacking suspect died and a San Jose officer was hospitalized after a multi-agency pursuit and shootouts spanning San Jose, Hollister, and San Benito County.
- A San Jose police officer was shot Wednesday in downtown San Jose, and a carjacking suspect was reported dead after a police shooting, the San Jose Police Department said.
- San Jose police say the sequence began with a green Corvette allegedly carjacked in San Jose at about 2:37 p.m., prompting a multi-county pursuit into Hollister and San Benito County.
- San Jose police located the stolen vehicle using a tracking system, and around 3 p.m., Hollister Police Department and San Benito County deputies exchanged gunfire after the suspect abandoned the Corvette on Westside Boulevard, engaged officers armed, ran on foot, then carjacked a second vehicle.
- Authorities asked the public to avoid the area as Highway 87, the northbound Julian Street off-ramp, and Westside Boulevard closures remain due to law enforcement activity while multiple agencies investigate.
- Cellphone video obtained by ABC7 News shows chaotic scenes including a person appearing to be run over, while San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan visited the hospitalized officer and officials warned details may change as the active investigation continues with PIO updates promised.
