GILROY, Calif. (Reuters) - A California teenager was identified by police on Monday as the gunman who killed three people, including two children, at a food festival south of San Francisco. Santino William Legan, 19, cut through a fence at the festival on Sunday evening and shot at people with a “AK-47-style” assault rifle at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee told reporters. Within a minute of opening fire, Legan was fatally shot by three onsite police officers armed with handguns. “It could have gone so much worse so fast,” Smithee said, noting the festival, which takes place about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Silicon Valley, America’s tech hub, welcomes thousands of visitors.

And so the lies begin.
Time to outlaw wire cutters!
Read Might is Right by Ragnar Redbeard," the caption said. "Why overcrowd towns and pave more open space to make room for hordes of mestizos and Silicon Valley white tw**s?"
A "mestizo" is a person of mixed descent, usually white and Hispanic, or white and American Indian. "Might is Right" is a book published in the late 1800s which has been described as a white supremacist text that promotes anarchy, vilifies Christianity and calls Jesus the "true Prince of Evil." The natural order, according to the book, is a world at war in which the strong must vanquish the weak, and white men must rule https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/29/us/gilroy-california-food-festival-shooting-monday/index.html
Good work by the police on the scene. Dropped him in about a minute.
Sounds like he was an Antifa member or wannabee.
“... “AK-47-style” assault rifle...”
It was an SKS...Great job, Reuters....Really sharp...
The timing is perfect. This supports Trumps call for listing Antifa as a terrorist organization. Trump is right again.
My SKS was only $106 when I bought it.
Or someone created by deep state to divert attention.
no that was GREAT WORK. Thank God or so many more may have been hurt/killed.
They were VERY close and I know it’s their job but we get on them for freezing or shooting too quickly and they do, but this time they were heroes.
As for the narrative being spun, it’s disgusting and it is the Umpteenth time and it has NEVER helped dems in the polls.
Cops went up against an AK with their handguns. Great job!!! Very brave!
What makes it a lie? You have better information?
Yep...They are usually very inexpensive....This guy bought this one legally in Nevada last month, the radio said...
“Sounds like he was an Antifa member or wannabee.”
I like my anti-garlic extremist theory. Only a vampire could hate garlic and anyone associated with the garlic industry that much.
As usual a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun.
They were lucky this time; the good guys with guns were nearby. If it was a constitutional carry state there would have been many more good guys with guns to stop this asshat; maybe before one or more of those kids were killed.
Agree...
It’s a terrible thing to have happen at an event like that or anywhere else.
The Iranian/Italian idiot wasn’t even self aware or as the Dims say “woke”.
