Overview
- The San Jose Police Department says one of its officers was shot and taken to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center for treatment following the incident on Tuesday.
- The shooting near Lick Avenue and Goodyear Street triggered a large multi‑agency law enforcement response with officers and Santa Clara County sheriff’s deputies securing nearby areas including Almaden and Floyd.
- Police later said the suspect was wanted in two armed robberies, fled from officers, forced entry into a home, exchanged gunfire with officers, and was shot and killed at the scene.
- Witnesses and local reports described a person down, a possible barricade and an alleged home invasion and hostage situation but authorities have not verified those accounts.
- The investigation remains active, Mayor Matt Mahan visited the hospitalized officer, and detectives say they will release more operational details as they confirm facts and complete their review.
