Police kill gunman who carjacked a UPS truck and held driver hostage

A gunman took a UPS driver hostage inside his truck, led police and sheriff’s deputies on a chase across San Jose, shot at officers and then engaged in a standoff Thursday night that ended with the safe release of the driver and the gunman getting fatally shot by a law enforcement officer.

…

The pair led deputies to Curtner Avenue and Communications Hill Boulevard, where they ditched the SUV and fled on foot, Cooks said. At some point thereafter, the pair came across a UPS truck with the driver still inside — and they carjacked the vehicle and held the driver hostage.

We ain’t missing California at all.
