GILROY, Calif. - California police on Tuesday were still trying to determine why a teenager went on a shooting rampage over the weekend at a popular food festival south of San Jose, killing a 6-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl and a man in his 20s.
The police have since obtained search warrants for a home in Gilroy associated with the suspect and the car they believe he drove to the festival, a decades-old annual event celebrating the produce farmed in the countryside of California’s Santa Clara Valley. The slayings in Gilroy were the latest in a string of mass shootings that have plagued the United States, including the November 2018 shooting in a crowded Southern California bar, in which 12 people died; the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, in which 17 people died, and the October 2018 attack at a Pittsburgh synagogue that killed 11 people.
“You can’t put borders up, speaking of borders, to a neighboring state where you can buy this damn stuff legally,” he told reporters after visiting victims and their families. “How in the hell is that possible? I have no problem with the Second Amendment, you have a right to bear arms, but not weapons of goddamned mass destruction.”
Cellphone videos of the attack showed people fleeing past tents in panic, as loud, rapid-fire popping sounds are heard.
