Police were searching for a suspected accomplice of the gunman who killed three people, including a 6-year-old boy, in a mass shooting at a food festival in California on Monday.

Fifteen people were injured in the shooting, one in critical condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.

A second suspect "was involved in some way, we just don't know in what way," said Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee on Sunday without giving further details.

Gilroy Police Department Chief Scot Smithee told reporters that the suspected gunman used a tool to cut through the fence to gain access to the security fence line and entered the grounds of the festival.

The gunman has been identified as 19-year-old Santino William Legan, according to reports Monday.

U.S. President Donald Trump offered condolences to the families of the victims, and prayers for those recovering in the hospital, during a bill signing in the White House on Monday morning. The community will continue work to stop evil and violence, he added.
