Police confirmed a shooting with multiple "victims" Sunday at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Northern California, saying there was an "active" scene as crowds ran for safety.

The San Francisco Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was responding to the scene, officials said.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported "multiple people" injured but did not elaborate.

Report: 3 dead, possibly 12 wounded at Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting

Quote
GILROY, Calif. (KTVU) - A Gilroy city councilman said three people have been killed and possibly 12 others wounded in a shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival Sunday.

Councilman Dion Bracco said those are preliminary figures and could change.

A spokeswoman for Stanford Medical Center said two patients are being treated at the Palo Alto facility., but offered no details about their injuries or conditions.

Santa Clara Valley Medical Center spokeswoman Joy Alexiou said the hospital has received two victims from the shooting and expects three more. Alexiou also had no information on their conditions.

Gilroy is about 45 freeway minutes south of me (and ~400 miles north of DLR.

Palo Alto is at the other end of Silicon Valley from Gilroy. Those two victims probably would not have been taken there without serious reason. Santa Clara Valley Med Center is also not the closest hospital to Gilroy, so those also may be in serious/critical condition. I'm just speculating based on geography, not actual information about the situation.

Shooter cut thu fence to avoid heavy security and metal detectors! So they made sure no one inside the fence could defend themselves.
"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Here's what's "out there" at ~4:30 AM PDT:

3 dead, 15 wounded: What we know about the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting

Quote
A shooting at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California injured 15 people and killed 3 more, bringing a horrific end to the popular annual event attended by thousands.

Gilroy police said at a press conference that officers engaged the shooter in less than a minute, though the scene was still considered active and nearby areas were kept on lockdown into the night.
...
Police shot and killed one gunman, who was wielding "some kind of rifle," shortly after he began firing.

"It appears it was somewhat random, the way he shot at people," Smithee said. He did not provide any additional details about the gunman.

Witnesses indicated there may have been a second suspect involved, but police are still investigating and have no identifying information on him, Smithee said.
...
Smithee said that at least 15 people had been injured at the shooting. Their ages, names and injuries are unknown.

The injured were taken to several different local hospitals and their conditions ranged from fair to critical.

Police: 3 killed, 15 wounded, suspect shot dead at Gilroy Garlic Festival

Quote
GILROY, Calif. (KTVU) - Three people were killed by a gunman at the Gilroy Garlic Festival before police shot and killed him Sunday, the city's police chief said.

Police Chief Scot Smithee said a second suspect could be on the loose and dozens of officers are searching the area. Smithee said the suspect who was killed came into the festival through a nearby creek by cutting through a fence. His name and age were not released.

Smithee said Gilroy police officers were at the festival and "engaged the suspect" within a minute of the gunfire. Smithee did not say how many shots were fired or how many officers fired their guns. He said the suspect was armed with a rifle, but did not elaborate.

It was not immediately clear if the 15 people who were injured were hit by gunfire or injured in other ways.

Gilroy Garlic Festival Shooting Gunman Dead After Killing 3

Quote
GILROY, CA — At least one person with a gun killed at least three people at the Gilroy Garlic Festival Sunday evening. At least 15 others were injured though not all of them had been shot. The shooting started around 5:41 p.m. at Christmas Hill Park where the festival takes place.

As of late Sunday night, police had not released information about the shooter or his victims. The family of a 6-year-old boy told KRON4 that he was killed in the incident.

Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said at a Sunday evening news conference that the man believed to be the shooter was killed by police officers. He said that the officers were there within one minute of the incident. A heavy police presence at the festival is normal procedure, according to Smithee.

Chief Smithee added that police believe a second man may have been involved in the incident. He said it's not clear if that person also fired a weapon or was there to help the gunman.
...
Smithee said it's believed that the men entered the festival by cutting a hole in a fence bordering a street. People who went to the festival through the official entrances had passed through scanners and were subjected to bag searches.
...
St. Louise Hospital in Gilroy and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center confirmed receiving 11 patients between them. Their conditions ranged from fair to critical.

An official of the Santa Clara County Health System, Joy Alexiou said that some of the patients had been discharged from the hospitals.

St. Louise Hospital is the hospital nearest the shooting. Valley Med Center at that time (festival traffic) probably would have been over an hour drive from Gilroy, though it is very large and could have received helicopters.

Speculating/guessing: The second shooter idea looks doubtful though not eliminated. The shooter took advantage of the fact that crowds of people were leaving, both for targets and for police response to be delayed by the crowds and chaos of fleeing people. It sounds like the shooter may have done his thing without really trying to avoid getting killed.

Suicide by cop?

If true, there is really no defense against this kind of thing -- but the gungrabbers will seize this incident as more argument for all manner of "gun control".

A tragedy for those killed and wounded. A 6-year old boy one of the victims, evidently.

More like what the moron in the LV shooting was doing, going out in what he considers a blaze of glory is my guess.

Likely-suspect-grade possibilities - my speculations - abound:

* Murderous crazy like Nicholas Cruz;

* Gang @$%;

* One of the many thousands of felons Federal courts forced the State of California to release early or a violent criminal who pled down to a crime that got a jail term rather than prison (Thanks, Proposition 140!);

* Rando homeless dude;

* Terror attack by a Jihadi or a drug cartel or human trafficking outfit.

The dead shooter's name is known to police but has not yet been released. Apparently a news conference is planned for this AM.

Yeah, he hates mestizos (Mexicans of mixed Spanish and Indian ancestry) and white something-or-others (possibly the Brit-equivalent of the C-word). How does a white supremacist hate white people?

Sounds more like he's been bullied by Hispanics and "white" girls refused to have sex with him. Kind of like that Hollyweird moron-kid of a few years ago.

Investigators find white supremacy, radical Islam materials in Gilroy shooter's home

Quote
Investigators in Nevada have found evidence indicating an intent to carry out a large-scale attack as well as white supremacist literature in the home of a man suspected of committing a deadly Sunday shooting at a festival in California.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported Tuesday that a search of 19-year-old suspect Santino William Legan's home in Walker Lake, Nev., turned up empty ammunition boxes, a gas mask, a knife, reading materials about radical Islam and white supremacy, and a camouflage backpack.

Also found at the home was an empty bottle of Valium, according to the Chronicle. Authorities are now searching computers and other electronic devices at the home for more evidence of Legan's online activities and possible further connections to white supremacist movements.

“We continue to try to understand who the shooter was, what motivated him, and whether he was aligned with any particular ideology,” FBI Special Agent Craig Fair said at a press conference Tuesday, according to the Chronicle.

“Reviewing digital media, historically, has been very revealing in terms of somebody’s mind-set, ideological beliefs, intentions,” Fair continued. “We’ve got to get into the computers, the towers, the thumb drive, the phone, to get a holistic picture of him and who he was in touch with, what sentiments and thoughts he shared with others, what he cataloged for his own consumption.”

Sounds like there's something here for all who want to make this guy out to be some sort of political ideologue. IMO, a dude who is reading up on white supremacy and radical Islam ideas is neither. The two ideologies are pretty much irreconcilable.
