A shooter killed three people including a six-year-old child at a bounce house on Sunday evening at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California.
12 others were wounded in the shooting.
The band Tinman was playing on the stage when the shooting started. Lead singer Van Breen said the shooter screamed, “I’m really angry.”
CBS Local reported:
Van Breen, whose band was the last of the day and performing an encore at the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival, told KPIX 5 he heard someone shout, “Why are you doing this?” He said the person responded, “Because I’m really angry.”
In a matter of minutes, the shooter’s deadly volley had claimed three lives — including a 6-year-old standing at a nearby bounce house — and had wounded 12 others.
Video captured the shooting at the stage area.
