“Shots fired at a PG&E substation in San Jose this week”

SAN JOSE (CBS SF) - In apparent acts of “sabotage” in the South Bay early Tuesday, someone cut fiber optic cables, knocking out some 911 service, and then fired a rifle at a PG&E substation, Santa Clara County’s sheriff said.

A short time after the cables were cut, around 1:45 a.m., the sheriff’s office and San Jose police received reports of gunfire in the area of Monterey Highway and Blanchard Road, sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Kurtis Stenderup said.

Officers and deputies responded but didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

Two hours later, PG&E contacted the sheriff’s office to report a problem at the utility’s nearby substation in the 100 block of Metcalf Road.

PG&E officials told the sheriff’s office that the substation’s security fence had been breached, at least five transformers had been damaged and that hazardous materials had spilled, Stenderup said
