The suspect who shot and injured a San Jose police officer last weekend was identified Tuesday, and Chief Anthony Mata said the investigation showed he was stalking and targeting officers.
Noe Orlando Mendoza, 38, of San Jose faces charges of attempted murder on a police officer after opening fire on multiple officers early Saturday morning. Mata said Mendoza used a home-made firearm, or so-called ghost gun, in the shooting.
In the first incident during a traffic stop, Mendoza shot at officers but did not hit them, Mata said during a news conference Tuesday.
