SAN JOSE — A SWAT team found a man dead inside a home near Communications Hill where officers earlier Wednesday had heard a gunshot coming from inside, according to San Jose police.

Officers were dispatched at 8:23 a.m. to perform a welfare check at a residence on MacIntyre Drive near Walzer Way, police said. A source told this newspaper that the call involved a possibly suicidal person.

When officers rang the doorbell, they immediately heard a single gunshot inside, the source said.

Officer Albert Morales confirmed the gunshot report and said officers then retreated from the home and called the MERGE (SWAT) team.

Police tried to make contact with any occupants inside the home, which is part of the Helzer Courts apartment complex.

Just before 2:45 p.m., police announced that a man with a self-inflicted gunshot wound was found dead inside the home.
