Santino William Legan, 19, has been identified by CBS News as the suspect in the mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. The shooting Sunday night on the final day of the annual event at Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy left three dead, 15 injured and the suspected shooter, Legan, killed by police. Several others were injured in the chaos after shots were fired, but were not shot, authorities said.
The dead include 6-year-old Stephen Romero.
A second suspect was still on the run. Police remained at the scene of the shooting Sunday night into Monday investigating. A motive for the shooting has not yet been made public.
The shooting happened at the park near Miller Avenue and Uvas Park Drive about 5:40 p.m. local time. The festival was set to end about 6 p.m.
One witness who told reporters they’d come face to face with the gunman and asked why he was doing this was told, “Because I’m really angry.”
Here’s what you need to know about the suspect and the shooting:

Kamala Harris was calling for gun control last night, even as the situation was still unfolding. Some of these politicians are like parrots with their knee jerk reactions.
Gunman shot and killed by police within one minute. Heavy police presence.
Got in to the gun-free-zone by cutting a fence near a creek
Wasn’t this a gun free zone?
As long as there is not alchohol involved, people should be encouraged to carry at large events. My guess is that would have cut the “shot” number down to one or two. And the “second” person should would be the initial shooter.
A half-Iranian white supremacist?
Attacking a hardened target seems like suicide by cop, to me.
May have been a Satanist.
And wasn't shot for their trouble?
What is with these “Five Fast Facts You Need to Know” and similar articles. Do these writers think they have the corner on information? Are they somehow supposed to be more reliable than their media counterparts? And by whose definition, Need to Know?
Meanwhile, NY police all over the New York event but not one stopped any gunmen there.
Yes, I heard they had a security perimeter, metal detectors set up to screen people going into the festival, and security on hand. This guy cut through a fence to get inside.
It’s sad but in spite of some good security plans, this dude found a hole, found a way to evade the security which would have kept him out.
it’s you
1. Legan, Who Identifies as Being of Italian & Iranian Descent, Posted on Instagram Before the Shooting. The Account Was Removed But Heavy Obtained Screenshots
Legan has an Instagram page with just three posts. The one most disturbing appears to have been posted shortly before the shooting.
“Ayyy garlic festival time. Come get wasted on overpriced shit.”
Legan also shared his views that include fringe white supremacist book written in 1890. Called “…one of the most incendiary works ever to be published anywhere,” by a noted anarchist, Legan quoted from the book in a post accompanied by a Smokey the Bear sign about fire danger. He wrote: “Read Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard. Why overcrowd towns and pave more open space to make room for hordes of mestizos and Silicon Valley white twats?”
everything else is reiterating details of the shooting and festival - nothing new
interesting that his instagram has been removed but only after heavy managed to pull something from it. Wonder if he had twitter/facebook/reddit etc etc and if they’ve been removed
If things can be removed, can they not also be placed?
Can’t trust anything on the web as the leftists control it and can change it at will
If (big IF) was second shooter am guessing transportation to and from area along creek involved ATV or four wheeler
A true Aryan who hates white Silicon Valley t***ts.
That’s been a standard format for heavy.com forever - “5 facts you need to know”
I was wondering that too.
Do not take it as gospel. Many times these are just casual blogs anyway.
Sounds like another couple of Columbine wannabes.
