The final hours of the famed Gilroy Garlic Festival were shattered Sunday evening when a gunman with an assault rifle opened fire on the crowd, killing at least three people and injuring 15 others, according to officials in the bucolic California city 30 miles south of San Jose.

12 Injured, at Least 3 Killed at Garlic Festival Shooting

Reports of shots fired at a garlic festival in gun-controlled California are being investigated, with reports of casualties.

California has an “assault weapons” ban, a Red Flag Law, a ten-day waiting period on gun purchases, a “good cause” requirement for concealed carry permit issuance, a background check requirement for ammunition purchases, and more.

Gilroy Garlic Festival Prohibited 'Weapons of Any Kind'

As gun-control advocates seize the garlic festival shooting to justify more gun control, it should be noted the festival prohibited weapons.

I cut garlic and onions in Gilroy in the summer of 1965, my junior summer. This was after the Braceros, when HS students were hoped to supplant them. Poor California, to have fallen so far.

I am surprised that these local festivals have not been targeted more often.

They are very much a soft target.

Lots of people packed into small areas.

This one being a gun free zone didn't help.

Fox News said the shooter, a young cis-male dressed in camo, got in to the secure and police protected gun-free festival with a semi-automatic rifle, through a cut in the unguarded but 100% post-consumer recycled and carbon neutral double-strand 8’ tall chicken-wire back fence. Gilroy police were providing security for the event. Police were reported to have shot gun-person dead in ‘less than a minute’, but people said they heard about 50 shots in under-a-minute before police took immediate action to protect the unarmed crowd from the shooter. At least three ethnically diverse and mixed-nationality CA state police officers have ‘opened a full investigation’ to determine if shooter had fully complied with recently-passed tougher CA laws for reduced magazine capacity, and a separate task force of 5 Gilroy budget office staff and 6 CA state sales tax investigators - harmonized for gender diversity and national status diversity were conducting a full audit of the shooter’s financial records to verify compliance with the new CA ‘bullet tax’. The Gilroy City Manager stated that any violations of ALL State and Local revenue laws will result in issuance of tickets and penalties, up to and including liens on the shooter’s estate for revenue avoidance and fines for CA gun law violations.

Santino Legan, shooting suspect, kills 2 kids and 1 adult in California festival attack

A shooter cut through a fence and opened fire on a crowd eating and listening to music at a popular food festival in California, killing three people, including a 6-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, and injuring 12 others before police quickly shot him dead, authorities said.

m.washingtontimes.com

Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said Santino William Legan, 19, appeared to randomly target people when he fired with a rifle Sunday afternoon, the end of the three-day Gilroy Garlic Festival that attracts more than 100,000 people to the city known as the “Garlic Capital of the World. He said Legan’s motive wasn’t known. Police responded in less than a minute and Legan turned his “assault-type rifle” on the officers, Smithee said. Three officers fired back and killed Legan, who legally purchased the weapon in this month in Nevada.

Comitted intra-oral congress with his pistol. For which the cops were just too happy to take credit. Contempt of cop.

Tho per Gilroy PD chief...
At a news conference following the medical examiner’s announcement, Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said Legan was shot several times by officers before killing himself. Three officers ran toward Legan and opened fire with their handguns, Smithee said, forcing the gunman to shift his line of fire from crowds of festivalgoers to police. No officers were hit, Smithee said.

Gilroy shooter killed himself, coroner says, contradicting police

Indiscriminate fire while in an adrenaline rush from podunk community PD is always accurate...as NYC PD their accuracy rate during Empire State Building event.

Wondering aloud...anybody do ballistics on bullets of the victims?

Another thought...while never endured being shot...how hard would it be while being shot at and allegedly hit, to carry out shooting one’s self “intra orally” with a semi-auto?

Finally, not to cast dispersions... intra-oral shot was from a semi-auto rifle firearm with a trajectory from a standing position?

It's a,pretty good bet half of the wounded were hit by police,fire at min.

That would never be released however regardless.
