Local law investigations are on the still active scene, along with the ATF = Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. According to latest official reports, 16 have been shot, with 5 confirmed fatalities. The suspect is still at large, but there at present is no belief that it was an act of terrorism, or a hate crime. *Gilroy is a large town about an hour and a half south east of San Francisco, where is is also known to be called, "The Garlic Capitol.

I can attest of the infestation of gangs throughout this, and numerous towns and cities of the entire region of California. It is not known whether it had anything to do with gangs, or gang rivalry.

Not enough information out there yet. This is very probable. My cable network has taken out NBC and CBS on a financial broadcast dispute, so I only have MSNBC as a single news source. From what witnesses at the festival are stating, the gunfire went off "like fireworks" and the crowd dispersed in panic immediately. Awaiting a news conference from police.
