Three people including the suspect were killed Tuesday evening at San Jose State University during a shooting at San Fernando and 10th streets. San Jose Mercury News said that authorities were notified at 8:36 p.m.
The incident occurred in a campus parking garage, university spokeswoman Pat Lopes Harris said on Wednesday, according to CNN. The university police were alerted to a shooting on the fifth floor. Two people were dead on the scene, and the third was rushed to a hospital, but then died.
Harris said it is unclear if the three were students. Thus far, no identities have been released, pending autopsy results.
CBS report Harris saying that the case’s investigators do not believe that the shooting was gang-related or random. CNN also records Harris as stating that the police do not believe that it was a drive-by nor robbery-motivated shooting. She said, “Officers realized upon arrival that this was an isolated incident.”
Authorities announced earlier today that they are investigating the shooting as a murder-suicide, according to the Mercury News.
Josh Tullo, 30, a senior, told the newspaper: “I’m just surprised it happened here. I never thought it would happen at this school.”
Harris stated that an hour after the original call was received, a campus alert was raised, CNN reported. The police then set a perimeter, and the rest of the campus was not in danger.
Sadly, this event was San Jose’s second triple-shooting in just four days, marking the city’s 19th and 20th homicides of 2011.
