In Gilroy, residents try to push on after Garlic Festival shooting
GILROY, Calif. - Just days ago, police cars screamed through downtown, rushing to the Garlic Festival where a gunman had killed three people and wounded a dozen more.
News outlets from all over the country descended on this small city of about 56,000 to cover the latest mass shooting. By the middle of the week, most of the news trucks and reporters had left and life in the "garlic capital of the country" was returning to its usual pace. Or trying.
Along Monterey Street, Candy Martinez leaned on the glass counter of a small party and supply store called Los Angelitos. The last few days have been emotionally exhausting, Martinez said.
