Santino William Legan has been identified as the man behind the trigger in the deadly mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Northern California. The shooting left three victims dead and more than a dozen injured. Included in the victims was a six-year-old boy, Stephen Romero, who lost his life.
Authorities have yet to determine a motive for the shooting and a manhunt is currently underway for a second potential suspect.
However, details are beginning to come out regarding Legan.
An Instagram account belonging to Legan has been deleted following the shooting, but Heavy.com was able to grab a screen capture of the account which had posted just three times prior to the attack.
On the account, a since-deleted Instagram post from the alleged shooter read “Read Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard. Why overcrowd towns and pave more open space to make room for hordes of mestizos and Silicon Valley white tw*ts?” The caption references a white supremacist book written in 1890.
