Puerto Rico police: 2 killed, 5 wounded in San Juan shooting

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Police in Puerto Rico say two men have been killed and five other people wounded in a shooting on an oceanside boulevard in the Isla Verde tourist area near San Juan.

Officers say more than 20 shots were fired beginning around 2:40 a.m. Saturday near a popular food truck and ended in front of a luxury beachfront condominium. They said the bullet-ridden bodies of two men were found inside a vehicle when they arrived at the scene after a computerized detection system alerted them to the shooting.

The five wounded were described as bystanders and one was in critical condition. One of the victims is female. Additional details were not immediately available.
