SAN JOSE, Calif. - One person is dead and a San Jose police officer was injured in a shooting on Tuesday, police say.
What we know:
Police said the shooting happened at Lick Avenue and Goodyear Street at around 6 p.m. The police initially responded to the area after receiving a call at around 12:30 p.m.
The officer was transported to a local hospital, but there are no details on the officer's condition. The man who was killed was not identified by officials. It is not clear if they were a suspect.
Mayor Matt Mahan’s office said he visited the injured officer this evening. They did not provide any further details. The officer was taken to Valley Medical.
A source told KTVU a second person, who may have been with the man who was killed, was also taken to the hospital. Their condition is not known.
Aerial footage from SkyFOX showed several San Jose police officers in the area.
Chase involving undercover officers
A half hour after the shooting, at around 6:30 p.m., at Locust and Willow streets, about two blocks from the shooting, we were told there was a police chase involving undercover police officers and another driver. That led to a crash of a black minivan, but it's unclear which vehicle crashed into the minivan. It is also unclear if the crash is related to the shooting.
Police said on social media that this is an active and ongoing investigation and that they would share more information as it becomes available.
