San Jose police lob chemical irritants during standoff
San Jose police on Thursday morning were negotiating with a barricaded person in the Hyde Park neighborhood, evacuating homes nearby. At some point in the morning, they launched a chemical irritant and flash-bang grenades.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose police on Thursday morning took a man who had barricaded himself inside a home in the Hyde Park neighborhood into custody.
Police also said that he had a self-inflicted gunshot wound, which might be life-threatening.
Before they took him into custody at about 8:30 a.m., police launched a chemical irritant and flash-bang grenades.
The standoff comes nearly 11 hours after a shooting near North Fourth and East Hedding streets.
In that 8 p.m. Wednesday shooting, one man was pronounced dead and police are not saying if they know what led up to that shooting. He was the city's 12th homicide this year.
