NBC Bay Area reported that two people died at the scene and that a third person, which it said was the shooter, was taken to the hospital, but later died.
Police said there was no remaining threat on campus, NBC Bay Area said.
It was not known whether any of the dead were students.
'Several pops'
Erin Sterner, a San Jose State student and a production assistant for NBC Bay Area, told the station that she heard the shots, but did not initially realize what they were.
"I was getting ready to go back to work — I was on my dinner break — and I heard several pops. I didn't really know what it was and got in my car," she said.
As she was driving to work, Sterner said she saw six police cars drive past and on arriving at work she said "all my friends" were talking about it on Facebook.
NBC Bay Area reported the parking garage building also housed the student services center.
