The deaths of three people in a San Jose State University parking garage appear to be a double murder-suicide, university police said Wednesday.
Police said the three people killed Tuesday night "were known to each other" and the campus was not in danger, the San Jose Mercury News reported.The shootings were not gang-related, said police, who had not released the victims' names.
University spokeswoman Pat Lopes Harris said after the coroner identifies the bodies, records will be checked to determine if any of the three attended the school.
Police were alerted to the shooting on the fifth level of the campus' main garage at 8:36 p.m. Two people died at the scene, and the third, believed to be the killer, died later at a hospital.
Harris said a weapon was recovered.
"Officers realized upon arrival that this was an isolated incident," she told the San Francisco Chronicle.
The garage was open again Wednesday morning.
Campus police were leading the investigation, aided by the San Jose Police Department's homicide unit.

--
A man who entered a Pittsburgh high school with a gun last year and injured a security guard when both men tumbled through a glass door will spend up to 11 1/2 years in prison.
Twenty-three-year-old Aaron Darrand Mohamed was sentenced Wednesday. He had pleaded guilty in February to aggravated assault, criminal trespass and other charges for entering the Pittsburgh Creative & Performing Arts school with an unloaded handgun. Mohamed told a security guard he was there to pick up a relative for an early dismissal.
Police say a student spotted Mohamed and his gun in a restroom and alerted security, prompting the guard to scuffle with Mohamed for control of his .38-caliber handgun.
When Mohamed ran away, the guard gave chase and the men broke through a glass door.

WASHINGTON
--
Authorities say suspicious letters with powder inside of them have been delivered to at least seven schools in Washington.
A spokeswoman for the FBI says four of the letters have been examined and were not found to contain any hazardous materials. They are still looking at the other three.
Pete Piringer, a spokesman for D.C. Fire and EMS, says some of the schools were evacuated for precautionary reasons. He says there have been no illnesses or injuries associated with the envelopes and no one has been hospitalized.
The first letter was reported Thursday afternoon at Terrell Elementary School in southeast Washington. They've been mailed to elementary, middle and high schools around D.C.
