Gilroy Mourns for Three People Killed at Festival Shooting

Gilroy is grieving the loss of three people, including two children, who died after a 19-year-old gunman opened fire Sunday at the town's annual garlic festival. The shooting also left a dozen others injured. We're still learning about the young man with apparent white supremacist views who carried out this shooting. Last night, was about the victims. The community pulled together at a candlelight vigil to honor them.
