Two killed in San Jose; neighbor heard arguing
SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose police said two men were killed late Thursday night, but they did not provide many more details.
What we know:
In a brief social media post early Friday morning, police said the deaths were reported Thursday at 10:11 p.m. in the 700 block of Santa Clara Street.
Officers responded to that area after someone called about a person being shot, police said.
When they arrived, they said two men were pronounced dead. Police did not offer any other details other than Santa Clara Street from S. 14th to S. 16th streets would be closed during the investigation. They later opened up surrounding streets and focused on 15th Street.
What we don't know:
Police did not release the names of those killed, if there were any suspects or a motive for the deaths.
On Friday morning, police had still blocked off the street, and they were seen congregating around an apartment building at the corner of 15th Street.
One woman told KTVU that she heard people arguing, then a car sped off. Other neighbors said they didn't hear any gunshots and were shocked to see the scene unfold.
Police went door to door, asking if neighbors had heard anything.
