The gunman who murdered three people at a food festival in Northern California on Sunday posted about a far-right book on Instagram moments before the attack
.
Shortly before the shooting around 6 p.m., Legan posted a picture from the festival on his now-deleted Instagram account reviewed by The Daily Beast. “Ayyy garlic festival time,” he wrote. “Come get wasted on overpriced shit.”Soon after, he posted a picture with a caption that told followers to read a 19th-century, proto-fascist book.
The popular annual festival was winding down its third and final day when the first pops of gunfire were heard. Jack van Breen, a singer in the rock band TinMan, was just beginning an encore as the horrific scene broke out around 6 p.m. local time. The shooting killed three people and injured more than a dozen others. One of the victims was a 6-year-old boy named Stephen Romero. “My son had his whole life to live and he was only six,” his father, Alberto Romero, told KNTV. “That’s all I can say.”
