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".
Pity he was able to have an assault rifle in the first place

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
