SUE THE VENUE

by Bob Walsh

Five victims of the shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival have gotten together to sue the venue and organizer, asserting that the security was "grossly deficient" because their private security contractor did not have a plan in place to deal with an active shooter situation. They also contend that physical security (fencing) was deficient (it was) and there was inadequate staffing.

It is believed the shooter, who killed himself when confronted, came under a somewhat ratty fence to avoid metal detectors and security screening at the gates.

The plaintiffs are also preparing a claim against the City of Gilroy.
