SAN JOSE >> Police are investigat­ing a shooting that sent a boy to a hospital, the second shooting last week to involve a male juvenile.

Officers received word just before 2 p.m. Thursday that someone had been shot at Havana Drive and Tampa Way in East San Jose. They arrived to find that the victim had been driven to a medical facility for treatment, according to Sgt. Enrique Garcia.
