4 dead, including shooter, during attack at Gilroy Garlic Festival
2019-07-29
[SacBee] 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.
Update at 11:45 a.m. EDT:
The gunman who killed three people and wounded 12 others Sunday at the Gilroy Garlic Festival has been identified as Santino William Legan, a 19-year-old who was killed by police within minutes of opening fire, sources told the Associated Press Monday.

#15  Spoilt, ingrate brat is what comes to mind looking at his posts and pics. Someone will now try vilify white gun owners, and others will complicate the issue with how he was crying out for intervention but no one saw it, how it's temporary insanity.

The truth is, he's a product of the progressive millennial family system, overseen by a nanny state that almost outlaws 'hands-on' parenting.

I once 'borrowed' my grandpa's 98k carbine to shoot at tins with friends. Practice was encouraged, so I though I could do it unsupervised at 15. I had the stripes from the hiding on my legs and arms for days after.

#14  I've read it was an SKS which he bought legally out of state and illegally brought into California. Until I read it at several different places that aren't each referencing one another I don't obviously know for sure.

#9  Santino William Legan has Italian-Iranian background. His grandfather was a West Point ring-knocker who served about the time of the Korean War. Must not have rubbed off on the grand-kid. Don't know anything about his father or mother. Screwed-up angry kid who cut a hole in the fence to by-pass metal detectors and security. The press is trying to make him out as a 19 yr. old white supremist because he read an 1890 book by a social Darwinism author with fascist-leanings called red beard (pseudonym).

#8  The Sacramento Bee now has a description as well as a name:

Price said she did not hear the gunman say anything before he opened fire, and she said her husband, Eddie, saw him emerge from the food court area.

“My husband saw the fire being spit out of the gun,” she said. “It was a white male and he was in army fatigues. He came out of the food court, and that’s when he opened fire.”

Police said Sunday they were investigating whether a second person was involved in the attack, but Price said she saw no indication that anyone else was involved and that there did not appear to be any confrontation to set the gunman off.
