Christmas Hill Park reopens after deadly Gilroy shooting

Christmas Hill Park, the site of July’s deadly Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting, reopened to the public Tuesday morning.

The 51-acre park, with its sports fields and hiking trails, reopened at 8 a.m., more than a month after the July 28 tragedy when a gunman shot 20 people, killing three.

Police last week identified the latest victim, who suffered a graze head wound during the shooting.

A moment of silence for the victims was held at 10:30 a.m.
