Coffee Clash Leaves Two Dead


"SAN JOSE, CA — San Jose Police were called to the scene of an apparent murder-suicide Saturday outside a Peet's Coffee & Tea shop in the 1300 block of El Paseo de Saratoga.

"According to police spokesman Officer Jose Garcia, a call to the department came in about 9:19 p.m. Saturday. When officers arrived on the scene, they found `two males in their 40s laying on the ground` near the coffee shop.

"Officer Garcia said police cordoned off the area and began to question witnesses but did not have any information about motive or exactly what had happened between the two men. It appeared, Garcia said, that one man shot the other in that public location and then took his own life with the same weapon.

"However, until more information could be gathered, Garcia said police could not say precisely what occurred.

"The men were found in an area just off Saratoga Avenue near Westgate Mall, the El Paseo Shopping Center and The Retro Dome theater. It is also close to where Hamilton and Campbell avenues converge."
