CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say they've shot the man suspected of opening fire at a Northern California limestone quarry, killing three co-workers.
Santa Clara County Sheriff's Sgt. Jose Cardoza told the San Jose Mercury News (http://bit.ly/ovdHhs) that Shareef Allman was shot Thursday morning, but could not confirm if he was killed.
Live television footage shows police cars gathered in a Sunnyvale neighborhood and authorities pulling a tarp over what appears to be a body in front of a home.
Mike Astor, who manages a gas station near the scene, told The Associated Press that he heard gunshots shortly after 7:30 a.m.
