Investigators say this all started when they got a call of a man firing a gun in the neighborhood, prompting officers to open fire. Abc seven News Reporter lena howland is live at police headquarters. With what we need to know about this investigation, lena. Reggie. We know that one suspect is in the hospital with life threatening injuries. This morning after being shot by San Jose Police. Now, police tell us that they responded to this area along colmar drive in east san jose. This is right near the tersection of story road and the capital expressway. Police tell us this call first came in right around 4 00 yesterday afternoon with reports of a man shooting a firearm. San jose police claim the suspect was still shooting that firearm when they arrived. They say the suspect was hit by officer gunfire and taken to a local hospital with life threatening injuries and that no officers were shot. Police giving this brief update on scene due to evidence. We have to review Body Worn Camera video that we have to look at witnesses we have to interview as well as the officers have yet to be interviewed. So theres still a lot of information we dont know. Were learning things as theyre developing at this time. We dont think theres any other injuries other than the suspect, but we are still canvasing, combing through evidence to determine whether or not there are additional victims. And were asking the public if they saw anything, if they were involved at all prior to Police Arrival to please contact the police department. We also spoke with a neighbor living in the apartment complex where the shooting happened. He says he was on his way home when police were arriving and just cop after cop after cop. So, i didnt think they were going to be here though. So when i made the corner came in and i seen everything taped off, it was actually pretty, pretty crazy. It was a little bizarre scene of seeing all the cop cars come here. You know, i have, actually another daughter, so its a little concerning because theyre both little girls and were constantly taking walks, and, its a little alarming to know that that happened here. And police say they will be holding a press conference sometime later on today, once they have a little bit more information about what happened. Live in san jose. Lena howland, abc seven news. Thank you. Lena. A sidewalk mural originally made to oppose israels military campaign in gaza is being defaced by hate speech in San Franciscos noe valley neighborhood. Abc seven News Reporter j. R stone is following the story and has more on this contentious back and forth. Its a very one sided. It is very violent and it is not a call for peace. Matt, who has asked that we not use his last name, is giving us his opinion about this mural in San Franciscos noe valley, one that he walks by every day with his child and one that reads, stop the genocide in gaza. Now hed like to see a message conveying a cease fire and release of hostages, as matt showed us the section that angers him most. So that dollar sign replaces a jewish star and historically for all time replacing a jewish star with money has been patently antisemitic. The Jewish Community Relations Council says they have received numerous complaints about this mural. The message is outrageous to form a blood libel against the Jewish Community. The bloody visuals, the dropping star of david replace the star with a dollar sign. Its a classic trope that jews control the government or some form of manipulation, and it reads like textbook antisemitism. At least one parent from this nearby daycare told us they dont think its right that their children have to see these red images every day. Some neighbors we spoke with disagree and dont want the mural touched. I can understand that you know that for children it can be sensitive. However, this is the reality. The children in gaza have no choice but to see. You know, theyre seeing their family members dead, in the streets. So you dont have a problem with it up like it is . Well, i dont think its very neighborly, but at any rate, no, i dont have a problem. The mural has been defaced numerous times in recent weeks, but the artist has fixed it each time as to what comes next. That is unclear, for this mural is on private property and we were unable to reach the owner regarding his future plans. Jr stone, abc seven news and our Media Partners at sf standard report.
