LOS ANGELES (AP) Court documents released Thursday show the gunman in the deadly California food festival shooting had a passport, clown mask, wilderness survival guide and bottle rockets in his car at the time of the attack.
The discovery came in the parked Honda Accord of 19-year-old Santino William Legan. Authorities also searched his family's home in Gilroy as well as his apartment in a remote area of Nevada.
Legan killed three people, including two children, on July 28 at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. He took his own life during a shootout with police.
. . .
Among the other items found in his car were digital devices, California and Nevada license plates, shotgun, ammunition, first aid kit and a camouflage pack with a fire shelter tent.
Authorities found an AR-15 assault rifle and three high-capacity magazines in the master bedroom of the family home.

(1,058 posts)Lots of people have a crap ton of stuff in their car. I'm fairly sure I have a compass, flashlight, blanket, matches, water filter, and a basic first aid kit in my car, and that has nothing to do with what I might happen to be doing on any particular day.
