Three people are dead and 11 injured after a shooting at a California food festival Sunday evening.
According to CNN, the dead in Gilroy include a six-year-old boy and one of the shooters. It is not completely clear how a second person was involved, but a manhunt is underway for the suspect that witnesses described.
Heavy police presence on the ground reportedly helped prevent greater bloodshed.
President Donald Trump encouraged locals to “be careful and safe.” Some 2020 candidates weighed in, with former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) issuing a call to action — “we can accept this as our fate or we can change it” — and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) saying that she was “grateful to first responders.”

“I would like every parent in this country—that’s 150 million people. I would like them to look in the mirror and that’s not a figure of speech, Scott. I mean find a mirror in your house and look in it and look in your eyes and say ‘this will never happen to me, this will never happen in my school, this will never happen in my community,’ and see if you actually believe that. And if there’s a shadow, the slightest shadow of doubt in what you’ve said? Think about what you can do to change that,” Wheeler said. “It is going to happen again. It’s going to happen again. Every time, it’s somebody else’s school, it’s somebody else’s community, it’s somebody else’s town. Until one day, you wake up and it’s not.”

Additionally, lives are needlessly taken in a blink of an eye through a squeeze of a trigger because of senseless gun legislation, lobbied by the NRA and slavishly voted by the Republicans Party!
Hey you Republican Party (in collusion with NRA) especially MOSCOWMITCH…
Those of you who would not legislate for sensible gun reform…
You are all responsible for the senseless deaths caused by gun violence!
In so doing, you are all needlessly endangering the lives of Americans, which makes you all violate your oath of office and thus derelict of duty!

I’m confused. This didn’t happen on the Mexican border? Or Baltimore?
Hate, fear and loathing are not American values.
