A recently evicted man demanding his keys broke into an apartment at the San Jose complex last week and held a mother and her two sons hostage with a machete before being shot and killed by police, authorities revealed.
The"volatile and high-risk situation," which unfolded over the course of about 50 minutes Wednesday night on the 900 block of Boynton Avenue in West San Jose, appeared to be a case of mistaken identity, San Jose police Chief Anthony Mata said.
"This traumatic and terrifying incident will remain with this family for the rest of their lives," Mata said."It is also an incident that will affect the rest of the officers that were present that night, especially the officer who saved their lives by taking another."Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
