The two victims were 16 and 17 years old, according to police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;This act was cowardly, unacceptable, and has no place within our community,&#8221; San Jose Deputy Police Chief Brian Spears said.<\/p>\n<p>One victim injured<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What we know<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One of the victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and the second teen was struck only on his clothing and was unharmed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Police said the shooting was unprovoked, the victims were not affiliated with gangs and had no prior contact with the suspect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With the help of automated license plate reader technology, authorities were able to identify the suspect. He was arrested Tuesday, SJPD said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While conducting a warranted search at Ortiz-Buenrostro&#8217;s home, detectives found the firearm they believe was used in the shooting, along with indicators of gang affiliation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The suspect was booked into the Santa Clara County jail on an attempted murder charge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Source<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">San Jose Police Department<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brief The shooting occurred Dec. 6, just after 3 p.m. One of the victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93022,108043,108041,88,90,89,2125,198,108042],"class_list":["post-240219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-attempted-murder-charge","tag-brian-spears","tag-jose-ortiz-buenrostro","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-san-jose-police-department","tag-santa-clara-county","tag-santa-clara-county-jail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
