Cops shoot dead gunman who broke into #GilroyGarlic Festival in #California by cutting through a fence before opening fire killing three people R.I.P including a six-year-old boy and injuring 15 others as officers hunt a potential accomplice. ---------------- Gunfire erupted at #ChristmasHill Park in Gilroy, outside #SantaCruz, at around 5.40pm Sunday. Police Chief Scott Smithee spoke at a press conference shortly after 10.10pm local time and confirmed that one suspect was shot dead by police (top right) seconds after he began firing a rifle into the crowd of festival-goers. ---------------- Smithee said officials are still searching for a second suspect involved. He said that person's role in the shooting is unclear. The two suspects are believed to have entered the festival via a creek on the north side, where they used a tool to cut through a fence. ---------------- Three victims were killed - including six-year-old Steven Romero (left) - and 15 others were injured. Several witnesses reported hearing popping noises and then seeing a white male in his 30s wearing military fatigues 'indiscriminately' spraying the crowd with bullets from a semi-automatic weapon for several minutes. Multiple videos showed panicked attendees fleeing the park as gunshots ring out in the background (center) as well as bloodied victims being treated (bottom right). @video2fone #video2fone https://www.instagram.com/p/B0fio_cAM4Y/?igshid=1lc84ty1byjrw
