A shooting in a World Cup fan zone in San José, California, resulted in one person killed and another seriously injured, with life-threatening injuries, as reported by San José Police. The incident is being investigated by the police as a homicide and several surrounding streets and bars were closed in the area.
The shooting happened on Sunday night, at San Pedro Square in San José, a "a popular entertainment spot" in the San Francisco Bay Area where the World Cup fan zone is, with giant screens showing World Cup matches live, although there were no live matches at the moment, as the only match of that day had already ended (a 1-0 win by Canada over South Africa).
