A young girl ensured a toddler was safe at the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting while the gunman attacked his parents.
Speaking to CBS'sThey are now out of surgery. They are stable but the husband, who was shot three times, is in critical condition. The wife was shot once."As soon as we stepped out of the port-a-potties, we turned and I saw a guy with a high-powered rifle, and he was putting his clip in, and I knew right there," Marquez said.
Low said the shooting appeared to be random, and that he approached the Honey Ladies tent because that was where most people were at that time. Legan killed three people and injured at least 15 more during his assault on the festival before he was shot dead by police. He cut through a fence to enter. "There absolutely would've been more bloodshed, I believe, with the number of people and the small area that they were in," Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee"I think it's very, very fortunate that they were able to engage him as quickly as they did.""My son had his whole life to live and he was only six.
