SAN JOSE » Three teenagers were shot and wounded in a sudden and unprovoked attack Halloween night at the Seven Trees Community Center, according to San Jose police.

The three teens — a 15-year-old boy, and a boy and girl who are both 14 — each suffered “at least one gunshot wound” and were taken to a hospital with injuries that were not lifethreatening, police said.

The shooting was reported at 10:28 p.m. behind the Seven Trees Community Center on Cas Drive, Sgt. Enrique Garcia said.
