The FBI said Tuesday it had launched a domestic terrorism investigation into the shooting rampage last week at a Gilroy, Calif., food festival, during which a 19-year-old killed three people and injured more than a dozen others.

This determination came after investigators found that the shooter had delved into “violent ideologies” and had compiled a list of possible targets, including the food festival, religious institutions, political organizations, federal buildings and courthouses, said John F. Bennett, special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Francisco office, at a news briefing Tuesday.

The gunfire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, a popular event that annually draws thousands of visitors, sent tremors through the small city and drew national attention. Among the dead were two children.

Less than a week later, the country was horrified by a pair of mass shootings — first in El Paso, then just hours later in Dayton, Ohio — that unfolded over the weekend, leaving a combined 31 people dead and dozens more injured.
