(nbcbayarea.com) (kron4.com) Police said the suspect barricaded himself inside a residence or apartment building, and officers shut down surrounding streets while negotiators worked the scene. (nbcbayarea.com) (hoodline.com) The location matters because the 200 block of South Fourth Street sits next to San Jose State campus buildings and across from a university gym complex and classrooms.
