Officers took one man into custody after a standoff at a San Jose home Monday, an incident that left both him and another man injured and a woman dead, according to police.
The standoff started just after 6 p.m. after neighbors on the 300 block of North 20th Street called police to report what sounded like gunfire.
“Upon arrival, officers discovered an adult female victim suffering from extensive physical trauma,” said Stacie Shih, a spokesperson for the San Jose Police Department. “They also identified a male suspect, adult man, who retreated into the residence and self-barricaded.”
On social media Monday, the department said that man surrendered and was taken into custody at around 8:40 p.m. He was then taken to a hospital with what police describe as self-inflicted injuries.
Inside the house, officers also found a man who had been shot. He was briefly hospitalized and then released. The woman found upon arrival died.
“The adult female victim suffered very extensive physical trauma,” Shih said. “We’re still trying to work with the coroner’s office to determine the extent of the injuries, and the official cause of death.”
On Monday, police initially reported on social media that the woman was found dead inside the house after the man surrendered. The other injured man was not mentioned.
