shooting airearm. san jose police say officers responded to this area along como, como drive in east san jose. this is right near the intersection of story road and the capital expressway. now you can see it was a very active scene earlier this evening. san jose police claims the suspect was still shooting a firearm when they arrived. police say the suspect was hit by officer gunfire and taken to a local hospital with life threatening injuries and that no officers were shot. police giving this brief update on seen video evidence. >> we have to review body worn camera video that we have to look at witnesses we have to interview, as well as the officers have yet to be interviewed. so there's still a lot of information. we don't know. we're learning things as they're developing at this time. we don't think there's any other injuries other than the suspect, but we are still canvasing, combing through evidence to determine whether or not there are additional victims. and we're asking the public if they saw anything, if they were involved at all prior to police arrival to please contact the police department. >> now. we also spoke with a

neighbor living in the apartment complex where the shooting happened. he says he was on his way home when police were arriving and just cop after cop after cop. >> so, i didn't think they were going to be here though. so when i made the corner came in and i seen everything taped off, it was actually pretty, pretty crazy. it was a little bizarre scene of seeing all the cop cars come here. you know, i have, actually another daughter, so it's a little concerning because they're both little girls and we're constantly taking walks, and, it's a little alarming to know that that happened here. >> now, police say they will be holding a press, a press conference sometime tomorrow with more information. in the meantime, they say any other updates will be on their social media accounts. dion. >> and we will stay on top of it. tara. thank you. moving on to more breaking news now coming out of the middle east tonight, iranian state media is reporting the president of iran is dead after a helicopter crash also killed iran's foreign minister and seven other people. that helicopter went down in a remote

part of the country early sunday morning local time. there it took search teams nearly 15 hours to find the wreckage as they battled dense fog and extreme cold. we don't know exactly what caused the crash yet. the president is the second most powerful person in iran's government, after supreme leader ayatollah khomeini. this is already a fraught time for iran. facing escalating tensions with israel and protests within the country, the white house says president joe biden has been briefed on the situation. now to the battle brewing in the quaint san francisco neighborhood of noe valley, a sidewalk mural originally made to oppose israel's military campaign in gaza is being defaced by hate speech. while the numbers on the mural aren't officially congruent with the united nations, the message is clear. abc seven news reporter j.r stone is following the story and has more on the contentious back and forth. >> it's very one sided, it is very violent and it is not a call for peace. >> matt, who has asked that we

not use his last name, is giving us his opinion about this mural in san francisco's noe valley. one that he walks by every day with his child and one that reads stop the genocide in gaza. now he'd like to see a message conveying a cease fire and release of hostages. matt showed us the section that angers him most. >> so that dollar sign replaces a jewish star and historically for all time replacing a jewish star with money has been patently anti-semitic. >> the jewish community relations council says they have received numerous complaints about this mural. >> the message is outrageous. it's a form of blood libel against the jewish community. the bloody visuals, the droppings star of david replace the star with a dollar sign. it's a classic trope that jews control the government or some form of manipulation, and it reads like textbook anti-semitism at least one parent from this nearby daycare told us they don't think it's right that their children have to see these red images every day.

>> some neighbors we spoke with disagree and don't want the mural touched. >> i can understand that you know that for children it can be sensitive. however, this is the reality. the children in gaza have no choice but to see. you know, they're seeing their family members dead, in the streets. >> so you don't have a problem with it up like it is. >> well, i don't think it's very neighborly, but at any rate, no, i don't have a problem. >> the mural has been defaced numerous times in recent weeks, but the artist has fixed it each time. as to what comes next. that is unclear. this mural is on private property and we were unable to reach the owner regarding his future plans. j.r. stone, abc seven news. >> our media partners at the sf standard report, the supervisor representing that district, rafael mandelman, is aware of the defacements and working with san francisco police. our requests for comment to supervisor mandelson's office

later, on monday, september 9th, the 40 niners will close out week one with a monday night matchup against aaron rodgers and the jets. it's going to be right here on abc seven. cannot wait. it's been quite an offseason for qb one brock purdy. he got married early this year, and earlier this week he threw out the ceremonial first pitch before tuesday's giants game against the dodgers. now, de lasalle product and giants starting pitcher kyle harrison playing catcher and brock. hey, he brought the heat a little bit better compared to his teammates fred warner and deebo samuel. back on opening day this week, i caught up with steve young at the dwight clark legacy series in the hall of famer, says playing quarterback for the 40 niners is one of the most unique positions in all of sports. >> there's an expectation and we all live it. i lived it like, you know, you can do a lot of great things in life, but you got to go win super bowls and that expectation i think drives the 40 niners, drives organization, drives ownership drives, you know, the draft and everything else. it's like i think one of the reasons why we

maintain just kind of a high elevated status is that we go for it every year. now look, we don't make it every year, but we go for it. and i think there's not that like everyone say, well, everyone goes for it, but no one puts that kind of pressure on themselves that nothing else matters. and i think that's what matters. i mean, that's what makes a difference for us championship sunday at the pga championship there in louisville, kentucky, cal's collin morikawa entered tied for the lead. >> he'd par the first nine holes and another tough birdie miss on ten. just one birdie all day dropped to a tie for fourth. 15 under clovis native bryson dechambeau on 18 for birdie and the co-lead, and he, wills that into the cup. so xander schauffele needs to birdie 18 for his first major heart pounding through his chest. no doubt. nice shot. a soft shot there to set up the try. and then very next shot the putt for the championship. and xander rolls it in. he goes wire to wire for the one shot victory over bryson for his first career major victory. we are dancing in

the dugout. ncaa softball tournament stanford hosting cal state fullerton winner, goes on to the super regionals. bottom three down two one, allie kaneshiro finds the gap in left center, two rbi double. stanford takes the lead for good part of a four run inning. more than enough for starting pitcher nigiri. kennedy tossed a complete game. 110 pitches struck out 13, including the final batter. stanford wins four two. they'll host lsu next weekend in the super regionals. you saw it right here on abc seven. spike lee's new york knicks hosting the pacers in game seven of the eastern semis. indiana came out on fire in the first half, 76% from the field, the best in 20 years. 15 point halftime lead tyrese talbot says he cannot guard me forever. warrior donte divincenzo hit nine three pointers. an nba record for most threes in a game seven. he hit a game high 39. john mcenroe loves it, but haliburton the pacers just too much. he had a team high 26. and now it's a sad spike lee. oh no.
