RT – Police have confirmed that 3 people have been killed and at least 15 injured after a gunman opened fire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. The suspect has been killed, but the scene has been described as “active.”
Gilroy Police Chief Scott Smithee said the popular annual family event had security, and bags were screened at the entrance, but it appears the suspect cut through a fence to gain access.
The identity and motive of the shooter has not yet been confirmed, but Smithee described the shooter as acting “somewhat randomly,” while using “some kind of rifle.”
“It’s sort of a nightmare you hope you never have to live in reality,” the chief of police told a news conference.
Footage shared online shows confusion and panic as people run away from the food stands.
