A six-year-old boy was killed along with two other people after a mass shooting at the Gilroy, California Garlic Festival on Sunday. Fifteen others were injured. The annual festival in the “Garlic Capital of the World” in Northern California was wrapping up its third and final day when a gunman opened fire with a rifle, according to police. The gunman cut through a fence to avoid security and opened fire before police fatally shot him as terrified people and performers ran for cover. Some witnesses reported a second suspect, Gilroy Police Chief Scott Smithee said, but it was unclear whether that person was armed or simply provided assistance. A manhunt continued late into the night. At this point in the investigation, Smithee said he has “no idea” what the shooter’s motive was. The first reports of gunshots at the festival came in around 5:41 p.m. local time, just as the event was wrapping up, Smithee said. He added that officers already stationed at the festival “engaged the suspect in less than a minute.” More than a dozen ambulances and fire trucks were also dispatched to the scene located about 30 miles southeast of San Jose. Smithee noted that security at the festival’s official entrances is “very tight,” despite a lack of posted security cameras. In addition to a police presence, attendees are subject to bag searches and metal detector wands, he said.

(aired live on 10/4/18) While the Florence shooting was not an active shooter event where the killer was wanting to rack up a high body count of strangers, it was a mass shooting of police officers. Brett had me on his show to discuss what people can do in these events.
