Three Wounded in Black Friday Shooting at San Jose’s Valley Fair Mall

Police call it an isolated, dispute-driven attack with the gunman still at large.

Overview

  • Officers responded around 5:40 p.m. near the Macy’s at Westfield Valley Fair and found a man, a woman and a 16-year-old girl with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
  • Preliminary findings indicate the suspect argued with the male victim before opening fire, and the woman and teen were struck by stray rounds.
  • San José police emphasized it was not an active-shooter situation as they locked down, evacuated and cleared the crowded mall.
  • The mall reopened Saturday with increased security as investigators continued the probe, which police said appears gang-related.
  • Detectives urged witnesses to share information as the suspect remains at large and no detailed description has been released.
