CBS Bay Area

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a shootout involving plainclothes San Jose police officers last week.

Police announced Tuesday that the 21-year-old Edward Ruiz, 21-year-old Gabriel Olmos, 37-year-old Robert Cesena, and 22-year-old Emilio Macias have been arrested in connection with the shootout, which took place on the night of Jan. 20.

"Last week I said all those responsible will be held to answer for this despicable act of violence, and I stood by my word," Police Chief Paul Joseph said in a statement. "Thanks to the quick actions and around-the-clock investigative efforts of our Homicide Detectives, and our Gang Investigations Unit Detectives and Special Operations who worked tirelessly on this case, we now have the suspects in custody, awaiting their fate from the justice system."
