One person was killed and another seriously injured in a shooting at San Pedro Square in San Jose, California, on Sunday. San Jose police said one victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The department is investigating the case as a homicide and closed several surrounding streets after the incident. San Pedro Square has hosted a FIFA World Cup fan zone for screening matches. No games were being shown at the time of the shooting.
The only match of the day ended around 2 p.m. local time. The Bay Area has hosted five World Cup matches so far, including a knockout game on Wednesday between Bosnia and the United States. A security guard at the scene stated she saw the injured person in distress.
“The person was still moaning and groaning. There was blood around his neck and upper back,” she said. Police were speaking with security and witnesses, she added. A Reuters journalist at the location observed multiple police vehicles and a person on a stretcher being removed from the cordoned area.
Most bars nearby were closed after the incident.
