Overview
- Local scanner audio and a Facebook eyewitness post reported multiple people shot in the Hale Avenue area after a disturbance and emergency units were seen staging nearby.
- The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office told CBS News that a shooting at a large party left one person dead and seven injured and that investigators believe a handgun was used.
- Deputies first responded to reports of intoxicated people and bottle-throwing in the street, and officers arrived as gunfire sent roughly 300 people fleeing the scene.
- Initial accounts say the gathering was an unsanctioned party promoted online and may have had links to a road-race-style disturbance, but key facts remain under review.
- Officials have not released a full official account and investigators say the probe will likely be lengthy and complex, so confirmed victim counts, suspect descriptions, and motive are pending.
