Khanh Quang Phanh heard three rapid gunshots, then two more just moments before learning two men had been shot dead and a third wounded Tuesday night at an East San Jose apartment complex near Story Road.
He then heard someone yell and what sounded like a car banging against another before it drove away from the parking lot at the apartment complex in the 1900 block of Poco Way.
San Jose police did not divulge details about the shooting, only confirming that two people were dead and one person was wounded. Identities of the victims were not released. No arrests have been made.
Phanh had been reading inside the apartment where he sometimes stays when the gunfire erupted about 8:40 p.m. in the apartments behind Arbuckle Elementary School and Rose Marie Judge Community Park.
Witnesses said the three victims had been hanging out with a group of friends near the fence in the complex parking lot just before they were fired upon.
"I heard five gunshots and I told my friend to close the door," said one resident, who did not want his name used, fearing gang repercussions. "My friend told me there was a guy with a rifle coming out of the parking lot and I looked out and saw him get into a car."
He then saw two men lying on the ground, one bleeding from the head, and shell casings on the sidewalk. The third man reportedly suffered injuries to his hand.
Tuesday night, residents gawked and stood outside the police tape cordoning off the crime scene in an area known for gang activity, neighbors said.
David Alvarez, who lives at the complex, said he knew one of the men killed and had just spoken to him minutes earlier, trying to persuade him to go back to church. He then hugged him and told him to take care.
"He had already retired the red and blue, but the streets and his affiliates kept trying to bring him back," Alvarez said. He said the man had three children and had recently worked in construction with him.
Tuesday's shootings marked San Jose's 20th and 21st homicide victims of 2007.

lol so 80% of you dont know what per capita means, "fuck these stats yo my city is grimey son i saw a kid get his j's jacked last week and hella foos be parked illegally in handicap zones". nyc is NOT dangerous, millions and millions of people go there every year for fuckin vacation, its a tourist spot, think percentages comparing crimes to how many people run through there.
yeah thats true, i just went there, i stayed in queens primarily, and i visited manhattan only twice, but queens was really nice, especially this area called sunnyside, hella nice spot. but yeah i was surprised the houses weren't too expensive, and it was just a normal queens neighborhood, but it wasnt horrible in crime, or anything crazy that i haven't seen in california.
but we did actually walk through harlem at night...it was pretty interesting seeing people's reactions. 2 white girls from california, walking through harlem at 11 at night....but no one bugged us at all...not one bit.
but then again things are just different in new york, they aint gonna say shit to you, but if your gettin your ass by a wrench, nobody is gonna say anything either, everyone just sticks to their own business.

Thats a load a crap. You visited there for a couple days and walked around for a few hours and you can make that assesment? Try living there. Many parts of the boroughs are territorial just like anything else...except its done by ethnicity, not a gang.
Example:
My brother is Thai/Chinese/White. He moved to Washington Heights which is most Dominical neighborhood. THey would flip him shit all the time. THey dont like "outsiders" moving into their neighborhoods and raising the price of the property around them. There is a TON of racial tension in the boroughs, between ALL different ethnic backgrounds.
Tell you one thing, there are parts of NYC you do NOT want to be caught in at ALL...trust that.
