OMG >> MASS SHOOTING AT #GILROY GARLIC FESTIVAL. POLICE SAY THE SCENE IS ACTIVE. Prelim reports - white male gunman.

Gilroy is south of San Francisco. Mostly a working class area, in the heart of California farm country. Lots of immigrants and families in attendance, no doubt.💔

3 dead. If #GilroyGarlicFestivalShooting turns out to be another Nazi attack, what then? Demagogue POTUS just keeps doing fascist rallies? Continues his racist attacks? Repubs keep denying reality?

Trump’s opened a Pandora’s box of hate. If he was once, he’s no longer legitimate

#GilroyGarlicFestivalShooting UPDATE: 4 Fatalities, including 1 suspect, shot by #Gilroy police. Chief says shooter had a rifle and broke into the festival by cutting thru a fence. Police now following leads about another suspect, whose involvement is still unknown. 15 injured.

Police identify 19-year-old Santino William Legan as the #GilroyShooting gunman.

It is a national emergency when a teenager can—WITHIN ONE MINUTE—KILL 3, including a 6yo boy, shoot & terrorize countless with a weapon of war at the beloved #GilroyGarlicFestival💔#GunControlNOW‼️

Wearing military fatigues, Legan, 19, used a semi-automatic assault rifle for his shooting rampage in #Gilroy. His Instagram reveals white supremacist, specifically anti-Latino racism. This is just what I feared when I heard #GilroyGarlicFestivalShooting.
