FBI: Gilroy Gunman Was 'Kind Of A Loner'

GILROY, Calif. (AP) — The FBI says the man responsible for a Northern California festival shooting was "kind of a loner" whom they are still trying to learn key details about.

Craig Fair, the bureau's deputy special agent in charge of the San Francisco Division, says investigators are still determining Santino William Legan's mindset before he fired an AK-47 style rifle at people at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. He says investigators haven't yet determined why Legan moved to Nevada, where he purchased two guns, one of which he used in the incident and another that was found in his car.

Fair says the 19-year-old appears to have been a loner, and he notes that people who act alone are "exceptionally dangerous" because they often don't communicate their plans to anyone in advance.
