• POLICE SEEK SUSPECTS IN 3 SAN JOSE SLAYINGS: SAN JOSE  (AP) — Police are seeking suspects wanted in the shooting deaths of two San Jose teenagers and a man from the southern part of the city who were slain on Sunday.

The San Jose Mercury News reports that neighbors say the two victims of the shooting on Rinehart Drive were teenage boys.

Police Lt. Tim Kuchac says both victims appear to have been shot with a handgun, and were found on the sidewalk in front of a row of townhouses just before 6:30 p.m.

Authorities say hours later, an unidentified man was shot and killed on Hayes Avenue in the city’s southern reaches at about 10 p.m.

Police say that brings the city’s homicide total this year to 19.
