LOS ANGELES - An autopsy found that the teenager who opened fire with an assault rifle at a weekend food festival in Northern California, killing three people, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound
to the head, a coroner's spokesperson said Friday.
Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee has commended the three officers involved as heroes, saying the casualty toll would likely have been higher had they not confronted the gunman when they did, within seconds after the shooting started. The violence erupted near the end of an annual decades-old event celebrating produce farmed in the countryside of California's Santa Clara Valley, about 48 kilometers southeast of Silicon Valley.
