UPDATE: SJ standoff with double homicide suspect ends in gunfire; suspect dies

SAN JOSE — An overnight standoff involving a double homicide suspect in San Jose ended after officers shot him, police said Wednesday morning.

The suspect died at the hospital later Wednesday morning from his wounds, San Jose police tweeted. 

“Our condolences to all those affected by this tragic series of events,” the SJPD said in its tweet.

The shooting comes after a 12-hour-long standoff with police at a home on the 100 block of Bendorf Dr. in the Edenvale neighborhood of South San Jose where the suspect had barricaded himself. The unidentified suspect has no connection to the property, police said.

The man is a suspect in a fatal shooting Tuesday evening on the 1400 block of Mt. Shasta Drive in East San Jose at around 7 p.m. The victim died of his injuries at a hospital. His was the 17th homicide of the year in the city. 

Police spokesman Sgt. Christian Camarillo said following the shooting, the suspect drove to Modesto and fatally shot a woman at around 9 p.m., then drove back to San Jose. Police by that time were tracking the suspect and began pursuing him on U.S. Highway 101 along with the California Highway Patrol, during which the man opened fire on officers who returned fire, police said. 

The man eventually abandoned the car and barricaded himself in the yard of the home on Bendorf Drive. During the standoff, some residents in the area were evacuated after additional shots were fired by the suspect during the barricade.
