当局表示，一名持突击式步枪的枪手似乎在加州吉尔罗伊镇的美食节上随机瞄准了人们。这天是周日，在警方击毙他之前，这名男子开枪打死了3人，还造成至少12人受伤。

Gilroy police chief Scot Smithee identified the gunman as 19-year-old Santino William Legan. He said police had a command center at the event for security but the gunman cut through a fence to avoid metal detectors and other security measures.
吉尔罗伊警察局长斯科特·史密西认定枪手是19岁的桑迪诺·威廉·勒甘。他说警方在这次活动上设置了一个指挥中心以确保安全。但是枪手剪破围栏进来，躲开了金属探测器和其它安全措施。
The man then fired on a crowd eating and listening to music. The gun used in the attack was bought in the state of Nevada earlier this month.
然后这名男子向吃着美食听着音乐的人群开枪。这名枪手使用的枪支是本月初在内华达州购买的。
Smithee said police responded within one minute and killed the suspect. It ended "very quickly," he said, "We had thousands of people there. It could have gone so much worse so fast."
史密西表示，警方不到一分钟就作出反应击毙了嫌犯。他说：“事件很快就平息下来。当时那里有上千人，局势原本可能很快就严重恶化。”
Some witnesses reported a second suspect. However, it is unclear if that person was carrying a weapon or provided aid to the gunman. Police are continuing their search for the other possible suspect.
有目击者报告称存在第二名嫌犯。然而，目前尚不清楚该人是否携带了武器或是向枪手提供了支援。警方正在搜捕其他可能的嫌犯。
