Fox News
A convicted felon on probation out of Santa Clara County, California, is back behind bars after he allegedly ambushed two San Jose officers responding to a call, shooting one of them.
When officers arrived at the condominium complex located west of the city's downtown area, they "made contact at the residence and immediately began taking fire from the suspect," according to a department spokesperson via KTVU FOX 2.
Mata said the suspect, who has since been identified as 44-year-old Gabriel Mario Carreras, began shooting at the two officers from the condo's balcony landing, which serves as the residence's primary entrance. He described the shooting as an "ambush" during a Wednesday news conference.
