Three people have been killed and 15 injured after a gunman attacked a food festival in California.
The gunman was shot dead by police shortly after he began firing, although police are investigating reports that a second suspect may still be at large.
The Gilroy Garlic Festival was about to end for the weekend on Sunday evening, when shots were fired at the site.
There was "a white man in his early to mid-30s firing a rifle," eyewitness Julissa Contreras told NBC.
It was the 246th mass shooting in the US this year, according to US tracking website Gun Violence Archive.
The suspect entered the festival after cutting through a perimeter fence, Gilroy Chief of Police Scot Smithee told reporters.
He said witnesses reported that a second suspect may have been involved, possibly in a support role.
Officers were already at the site and responded to the shooting in less than a minute, Chief Smithee added.
Videos posted on social media showed people running away from the festival, which took place 30 miles (48km) south of San Jose.
"What's going on?" a woman can be heard asking in one video, "who'd shoot up a garlic festival?"
Dozens of emergency vehicles were deployed to the festival
"We couldn't feel worse," Brian Bowe, the festival's executive director, said at a news conference on Sunday. "It's just a horrible thing to experience."
"This is nothing short of horrific," tweeted California Governor Gavin Newsom.
US President Donald Trump also tweeted about the shooting, urging people to "be careful and safe".
Some people are being treated for critical injuries, a spokeswoman for the Santa Clara Valley Public Health System said.
The Santa Clara County Medical Center has so far admitted five victims, CBS reports. Two patients are being treated at a medical centre at Stanford University, according to CNN.

Come on Crisp....you know you can do it....go for it !
This shooting is down to Trump....he could have banned all battlefield weapon ownership by private citizens !
All the deaths by battlefield weapons this year are his fault !
Another cover up, and they don't want the truth about the perps to be known: Vampires.
"All the deaths by battlefield weapons this year are his fault"
My joke post makes more sense than this nonsense..

I don't like people who smell too much of Garlic
Still people are safe I am not allowed to buy a gun
I agree people should not be allowed to buy automatic weapons in the USA, these are for battlefield use only
Still no President has done this to date, I could not blame Trump more than any other president

The original idea is that the Americans could own guns, in case us British tried to bring the USA back under British Control.
There were 2 wars, the American Revolution and the War of 1812, both won by the Americans, we have not tried for a third time.
Perhaps they keep their guns in case one day we do.

Have a look at sauces. Loads of them are 'with garlic'. You can even get garlic sandwich spreads. Why?? It is horrible stuff. You only have to consume a tiny amount and it comes out of your sweat pores for at least the following 24 hours. It is vile.
Because it tastes good. Because it's good for you. Because it prevents vampire attacks.
That's right just checking, it keeps us safe from Vampires
and everybody else it smells awful
and everybody else it smells awful
Let's review some facts:
1. I like garlic
2. I've never been attacked by a vampire.
