Police identify gunman in deadly Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting, 6-year-old boy among those killed
GILROY, Calif. - Law enforcement officials on Monday identified the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooter as Santino William Legan.
Outside his home in Gilroy, about a mile from police headquarters, police and ATF agents swarmed his two-story sand-colored home. An ATF agent answered the door, telling KTVU that no one from the family would be speaking.
Neighbors said that two parents and two sons lived there and that they were nice.
Not much else was known about Legan, other than what witnesses described they saw at the festival on Sunday about 5:40 p.m. Police say Legan killed three people -- including a 6-year-old boy -- before he was shot to death by police. Twelve others were injured. He had snuck into the festival by cutting a hole in a fence and he was armed with a rifle, witnesses said.
