One person was killed and another seriously injured on Sunday in a shooting at a popular entertainment spot in San Jose, California, that has been hosting a World Cup<\/a> “fan zone” screening matches, police said.<\/p>\n

There were no World Cup games being screened at the time of the shooting, with the only match of the day in the tournament finishing around 2 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n

“One victim was pronounced deceased on scene. The second victim was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries,” San Jose police said in a post on social media platform X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n

“This incident is being investigated as a homicide. Several surrounding streets are closed in the area.”<\/p>\n

The incident occurred at San Pedro Square, one of several places in the San Francisco<\/a> Bay Area where huge crowds have gathered for lively “watch parties” showing World Cup matches on big screens.<\/p>\n

The Bay Area has hosted five World Cup matches so far, with the last game a knockout match on Wednesday between Bosnia<\/a> and co-hosts the United States.<\/p>\n

A Reuters journalist at the scene saw a heavy police presence, multiple police<\/a> vehicles and a person on a stretcher partially covered by a white sheet being rushed away from the area by people in uniforms.<\/p>\n

The scene was cordoned off and most bars in the area were closed after the incident.<\/p>\n

A security guard, who declined to be named because she was not authorized to speak to media, said she saw the injured person in distress.<\/p>\n

“The person was still moaning and groaning. There was blood around his neck and upper back,” she said. “Police were talking to security and a couple of witnesses.”<\/p>\n

There are several dozen fan zones across the Bay Area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One person was killed and another seriously injured on Sunday in a shooting at a popular entertainment spot…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378988,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[7,11190,236,101,88,90,89,135,140571],"class_list":["post-378987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-california","tag-fifa-world-cup","tag-police","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-shooting","tag-world-cup-soccer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378987","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=378987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
