    Boy, 6, among three killed as gunman opens fire at US food festival

    A six-year-old boy was among three people killed after a gunman opened fire at a food festival in California.Steven Romero had been visiting the garlic festival in the city of Gilroy with his mother and grandmother when he was shot and killed, according to NBC Bay Area.Another 15 people were injured in the attack at 5.41pm local time (1.41am UK time) after the gunman began "shooting in every direction".

    He killed three people before being shot dead by police in attendance within a minute.Steven's father, Alberto, said he was at home when he got the call that his son had been killed.
    "My son had his whole life to live and he was only six," he told NBC Bay Area.When asked what his thoughts were following the tragedy, he said: "Hopefully they get the shooters and basically that's it right now."I lost my son and that's the only thing I really can do besides trying to be with him until I could put him in his resting spot, wherever that is."Chief of Police Scot Smithee said the gunman, and a suspected second gunman or supporter, came into the festival via a creek which borders a parking area.He said it was thought they used "some sort of a tool to cut through the fence".Mr Smithee confirmed it was still an active scene.​https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/boy-6-among-three-killed-as-gunman-opens-fire-at-us-food-festival/ar-AAEZoX5?ocid=spartandhp

    Wow, easily could have headed down for that festival but had family things going on.

    Tragedy for sure, hitting the small towns and previously untouched areas.

    Just sad.

    This is getting real old. You never know who is safe any day. You go out to have a good time and it may not be. Real sad.

    And since it's Kookie Kalifornia, had the shooter lived he would not have received the death penalty.

    AK assault rifle is what I'm hearing now.. Latest news. Those guns spray hard, not very accurate though when shooting from the hip.. Those rifle rounds will go right thru you though..

    I do like garlic. It's a natural healing wonder drug when raw. Garlic is suppose to ward of vampires to.

    Something went wrong here with this shooting. No one should shoot up a garlic fest!!!

    A shooter who allegedly snuck onto the grounds of the popular food festival in Gilroy, California, opened fire with a rifle before police engaged, shooting and killing the suspect.

    Weird the resident sbr racist brigade isn't out....(I say this only to be controversial. We can all take a ribbing right? I know there are great men and women on this site)

    I guess it's only serious when kids die. Adult victims simply don't get the benefit of the doubt....

    but i can say it and be confident, we have a gawdamm phukking problem with guns. if we cannot help ppl with mental health issues, then we must take away their guns and stop them from purchasing. obviously we cannot stop the black market but that market exists all over the world yet mass shootings happen here 100X more than any other country in the world.

    look it up and then shut the phukk up.
