The San Jose Police Department said responding officers were met with gunfire as they approached an apartment building and that a veteran officer was struck and pronounced dead at the scene. The officer was not identified.

Officers closed off several streets in East San Jose as they searched for the shooter.

Authorities said all San Jose police resources were being used, and outside help had been requested.

Dozens of officers swarmed the area of Senter and Umbarger roads to find the gunman, and nearby homes were evacuated. Officers and equipment, including armored vehicles and a helicopter, were summoned from neighboring police agencies, including the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale police, and the California Highway Patrol, the San Jose Mercury News reported.

Residents were advised to stay inside as the search intensified, but dozens of people still gathered near the scene, watching as police helicopters circled overhead.
