The gunman cut through a fence to get into festival, police said, avoiding metal detectors at entrances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">&#8220;It&#8217;s incredibly\u00a0sad and disheartening that an event that does so much good for our community has to suffer from a tragedy like this,&#8221;\u00a0Smithee said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"module-position-R_jRy2BuBqc\" class=\"story-asset video-asset\">\n<div class=\"ui-video-wrapper \">\n<div class=\"js-ui-video-init ui-pluto-video js-video-aps js-uw-iframe-video uw-iframe-video story-video inline-story-video smallarticleinlinehtml5\" data-video-id=\"1854965001\" data-snow-enabled=\"true\"><iframe class=\"snow-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/uw-media.usatoday.com\/embed\/video\/1854965001?sitelabel=reimagine&amp;placement=snow-smallarticleinlinehtml5&amp;keywords=gavin-newsom%2Ccalifornia%2Cnorthern-california%2Coverall-negative%2Csuffering%2Csadness%2Cfear&amp;simpleTarget=disasters&amp;simpleExclusion=disasters&amp;pagetype=story&amp;cst=news%2Fnational&amp;ssts=news%2Fnation&amp;series=\" name=\"snow-player\/1854965001\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"ui-video-controls story-video inline-story-video\">\n<p class=\"video-desc\">A shooting at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California injured 15 people and killed 3 more.

She initially thought the gunshots were fireworks because it was near the end\u00a0of the three-day\u00a0festival. When she realized what was happening, Escarcega ran from the gunfire with her son in her arms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">Escarcega said her family has been going to the festival for over 10 years, but after meeting up at the\u00a0reunification center at\u00a0Gavilan College,\u00a0they said now they don\u2019t want to go anymore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">\u201cMy little one,\u201d she said of her 9-year-old son. \u201cHe\u2019s ready to go home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">Residents nearby the festival remained on lockdown Sunday night, including\u00a0Roman Faria, who sat down for dinner when he heard crowds running down the street after shots rang out at 5:41 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">&#8220;There were tons of people crying,&#8221; Faria said. &#8220;They had scratches from diving and being knocked over.\u00a0It was intense to see because this is our town.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">Gilroy resident Luis Godoy said he\u00a0took cover with his infant son when he heard the shots. The family, who lives about a mile from the festival, said they waited until they thought it was safe to leave to find an exit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">As they were on their way out, Godoy said they saw several people performing CPR on a man who didn\u2019t \u201clook good.\u201d He also saw a woman bleeding from her head and a teen girl bleeding from her shoulder and arm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">\u201cThank god we made it out safe and we came home,\u201d said Godoy, who considers visiting the festival an annual tradition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">Police asked the public to stay away from\u00a0Christmas Hill Park, the site of the festival about\u00a030 miles southeast of San Jose, as they continue to investigate.\u00a0Authorities are still contacting the\u00a0families of the injured and deceased, Smithee said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">Gov. Gavin Newsom thanked law enforcement for handling\u00a0incident.\u00a0Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were among those at\u00a0the scene, officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">&#8220;This is nothing short of horrific,&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GavinNewsom\/status\/1155680934210895872\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track-label=\"inline|intext|n\/a\">Newsom tweeted<\/a>. &#8220;Tonight, CA stands with the Gilroy community.
