San Jose Police offered new details Monday about a standoff last week involving a machete-wielding man holding a family hostage in their apartment which ended when an officer shot the suspect dead.
The incident happened last Wednesday on the 900 block of Boynton Ave. in West San Jose. Officers responded at around 8:30 p.m. to the apartment where a mother and her two sons, aged 7 and 18, were being held hostage.
As the standoff stretched in several hours, Mata said officers looking through a window moments before the shooting saw the suspect standing over the family with the machete raised and holding a handgun in the other hand, which turned out to be a replica gun.
