Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Surveillance Video Shooting Targeting South San Jose Electrical Substation. #Alert

Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday released surveillance video depicting an April shooting targeting a PG&E substation in South San Jose.Narrative: In the early-morning hours of April 16, someone opened fire at the utility's substation on Metcalf Road near Highway 101. The gunshots damaged five transformers and caused cooling oil to leak from a transformer bank, and the damage prompted state regulators to urge electricity conservation in the ensuing days. AT&T phone service in the area was also affected.
What: The dark and moderately grainy footage shows a series of gunshots fired over a roughly one-minute span, between the 1:54 and 3:07 marks. Sheriff's spokesman Kurtis Stenderup said investigators continue to analyze other footage taken at the time.

Who: A month later, a man dressed all in black was seen lurking near the substation, touching off a large manhunt by Sheriff's deputies, but the man eluded capture.

Anyone with information for the Sheriff's Office can contact investigators at 408-808-4431.

How fires get their names

Every year in California thousands of wildfires start throughout the state. In most cases, the dispatch center sending the initial resources to a wildland fire will designate a name for the fire, but the first on scene engine or fire official can also name the incident. Fires are usually named for the area in which they start – a geographical location, local landmark, street, lake, mountain, peak, etc. Quickly naming the fire provides responding fire resources with an additional locater, and allows fire officials to track and prioritize incidents by name. For example during the Southern California Fire Siege of 2003, the largest wildland fire in California history, the Cedar Fire in San Diego County, was named after the Cedar Creek Falls area where it started. The destructive Old Fire, which burned during the same time period in San Bernardino County, was named after the road along which it started - Old Waterman Canyon Road.
