At least three people were killed and 15 other people injured in a shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Northern California after a suspect, wearing tactical gear and armed with an assault rifle, opened fire, authorities and witnesses said Sunday night.

"It's sort of a nightmare you hope you never have to live in reality," Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said at a news conference.

Smithee said the suspect, who was also shot and killed, appeared to be shooting "somewhat randomly," and that investigators had no information on a possible motive. He said that police believed a second person may have been involved but that they didn't know in what way.

Julissa Contreras, a witness who said she was a former police cadet, said in an interview Sunday night that she saw "your average white guy" firing what appeared to be a semi-automatic rifle, "kind of just going left to right and shooting whoever he could, honestly."

6. There's no evidence of that. We should not spread unsubstantiated rumors.

I think the truth is more complicated than that, this time.

7. THIS BASTARD MUST SUFFER

Justice will only be done when this criminal is punished for his crime. Why this person was dressed for killing and nobody stopped this nut before the killing is amazing? Only when these crazy people are punished in public will they hide in their dark spaces afraid of the public AGAIN. I live in California and I am amazed these crazy people are here. We do have 33% conservative voters and they are doing their crazy thing here. I hope this jack ass is roasted before he is executed for his crime........
