NBC Bay Area News is reporting that four people (including a gunman) were killed, including 6-year-old Stephen Romero, and 15 were wounded Sunday as a gunman opened fire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California.

One of the suspects was shot and killed, and a second suspect was still on the loose late Sunday, sources told NBC Bay Area.

President Trump tweeted about the horrific incident, telling people to “be careful and safe,” and reminded those in attendance that the shooter had not yet been found.

UPDATE: At least one shooter has been shot and killed.

Witnesses reported seeing a second gunman, and as of 10:30 p.m. the scene was still active, with multiple agencies searching for the outstanding suspect, according to Gilroy police.

CBS News reports- The Gilroy Police Department have set up services meant to help reunite those who were at the Garlic Festival with their loved ones, including a phone number and reunification center at Gavilan College in parking lot B.

Niah posted two videos from the event after the rapid-fire gunshots were heard. Both videos show people running away from the sounds of gunshots. In the video, she can be heard asking who would shoot up a Garlic Festival?

Hippie Dave tweeted a video showing the chaos that erupted at the Garlic Festival after hearing gunshots. The video shows people running away from the active shooter:

Running away from my life from the Gilroy garlic festival, mind the language because I was in shock! I am so thankful that I’m alive, I saw gunfire smoke and even got struck in the forehead by a ricochet from shrapnel. I was near where the gunman was firing!

Two law enforcement sources tell CBS News one suspect, a white male, is dead. There was no word on who killed him or whether there were any other suspects at large.

According to this eye-witness, when people heard the “rapid-fire” of gunshots, they began to run, including parents who were looking for their kids.

CBS News spoke with a survivor who explained to them how a bullet passed directly by him. He said when the gunfire started, he thought the popping sounds were part of the opening act for the concert.

This eye-witness describes how people were panicking and hopping into vehicles to get out of the area where the active shooter was located. He also identified the shooter through a female friend who claimed to have seen him, as a man wearing fatigues and a had a “machine gun.”  No reports have been released about the weapon or weapons that were used in the attack. The “machine gun” statement has not been verified by law enforcement.

Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) wasted no time using the crisis to push the gun-control narrative she hopes will give her a shot at being the Democratic presidential nominee.

Little Miss Opinion destroyed her argument with this one tweet. These horrific mass shootings are not about guns, they’re about addressing a huge mental health problem we have in America.
