Boys found fatally shot in school parking lot
Two boys were found shot to death in the parking lot of a San Francisco Bay Area elementary school early Saturday, unsettling a community where homicides are rare. The discovery came after multiple residents called 911 to report hearing gunshots coming from Searles Elementary School. Police found an 11-year-old and a 14-year-old alone in a van, both with gunshot wounds, Union City police said. Police said it was unclear why the boys were in the parked van so late at night or whether they had an adult with them.
