The incident happened last Wednesday on the 900 block of Boynton Ave. in West San Jose. Officers responded at around 8:30 p.m. to the apartment where a mother and her two sons, aged 7 and 18, were being held hostage.
As the standoff stretched in several hours, Mata said officers looking through a window moments before the shooting saw the suspect standing over the family with the machete raised and holding a handgun in the other hand, which turned out to be a replica gun.
Waiting to see whether the man’s family will sue SanJosePD for doing the right thing. He held a family hostage with a machete & a gun so LEOs can’t take chances when he became more erratic. Hope mother & her son are okay, recovering emotionally & mentally.
