Three people have been killed and 15 injured after a gunman attacked a food festival in California.
The gunman was shot dead by police shortly after he began firing, although police are investigating reports that a second suspect may still be at large.
The Gilroy Garlic Festival was about to end for the weekend on Sunday evening, when shots were fired at the site.

But.... I thought guns kept you safe?

You did notice ?- the guys who took out the bad guy ( who had a semi auto AK variant) took him out with pistols.

They obviously spent time on the range. A uniform means dick to the ability to wield a handgun efficiently. Practice means far more. I know plenty of civilians who can outshoot cops. I know I can. I do regularly. Most cops dont shoot much past qualifying.

So yeah - good guys with handguns took out the bad guy with an " assault rifle".
