Iran Press/America: A gunman opened fire on Sunday evening on the last day of the Gilroy garlic festival, near San Jose, killing at least three people, before being shot dead by police. At least 15 people were injured.
Authorities did not release further information on the identity of the suspect or the victims. The police chief said the motive behind the killings remained unclear.
No information is yet available of the attacker and his/her identity, Iran Press reported.
Virtually every month, the US copes with a wave of violence, hostage-taking incidents, and armed attacks.
Every year thousands of people lose their lives or get wounded by gunshot attacks. Based on official statistics there are around 270 to 300 million guns in US, that is almost one gun for every American.
Despite the requests of civil rights advocates in US, the US Federal Government has not managed to restrict gun sales or bring in more effective legislation in the US as yet.
US president Donald Trump is one of the supporters of the gun lobby.
He had earlier said in the beginning of his presidential term that an 8-year of violation of gun-owners had ended and that now they had a real supporter in White House. 207/215
