The Suspects of the Sunnyvale Shooting
Two suspects, a man and a woman in a black sedan car, seemingly followed the family until they saw the victims sitting in their car just outside the man’s apartment. The suspects approached the car and just started shooting, according to the reports of some witnesses. Police Chief Vegas said that there is no telling how long the family has been followed.
When the police received the call at around 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, they were said to be working non-stop in order to identify the suspects. Vegas also stated that the police were “confident that the suspects have already left Sunnyvale.”
