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:

Saw stuff last night about him posting on FB as “ Chase M. Killer” Maybe it was Instagram.... Cryptic threats, which he then disavowed as dark humor. There was a serial killer in Sacramento named Chase,. The Vampire Killer. I found that odd, in light of all the vampire cracks last night.
I bet he flushed his own and set up the Instagram for people to find afterward. This was suicide by cop and my money is on him being an eco terrorist.
Columbine was a suicide from the outset, and an attack on a soft target.
Good find.
I have a friend who was asked if he was italian...to which he responded “No, I’m white”.
Just tossing that out there.
Face to face is close enough to disarm.
You know he must be a D as the stories all fail to mention it.
So, the gunman was Iranian-Italian.
Did he identify more as Italian or Iranian?
Iran derives it's name from Aryan, and they were allied with The Axis.
If you've ever worked for an Iranian, there should be no question in your mind that they think they are much better than you will ever be.
If you ever go to this festival you would understand it is heavily supervised by LEO’s, uninformed and undercover, as well as many off duty attending.
The police engaged and despatched him about as fast as anyone could.
Two friends of my brother were there off duty San Jose PD.
To think, I almost went.
Got a lot of calls, even from people I hadn’t heard from in a while.
Zactly what that was.
I feel as safe there as I would at a bar full of cops.
They are every where...
“...these events happen at times when the RATS are caught with their hands in the cookie jar ...”
Almost like clockwork, brother.
Without fail.
So now we conveniently have the new democrat talking points for this week.
I was being somewhat tongue in cheek.
However, we have a huge fair here in Western New England—two weeks long and well over a million in attendance.
When I worked for Emergency Management, we drilled for that kind of event every year. It never turned out well.
I am glad your friends are safe. What a sad day.;
I wonder if anybody else notices this trend? :-)
You mean the “racist” cops killed a poor young Iranian with a gun?
Camel-a Harris can go wrap her legs around Willie Brown’s torso. Again.
I know that racially Iranians are of Aryan origination.
But these days, most of them are Muslim, and I think that orientation would push a crazy more towards jihad for Allah than what we normally associate with the term white supremacist. Or, as Obama would call it, terror from the right.
