"I couldn’t believe what was happening, that what she was saying was a lie, that maybe I was dreaming," Romero told the paper. A total of three people, including 6-year-old Stephen, were shot and killed, with at least 12 more injured in the Sunday massacre, according to authorities. The suspect, who allegedly sneaked into the festival by using"some sort of tool" to cut through a fence and bypass event security, was quickly engaged by authorities and killed within a minute. He was later identified as 19-year-old Santino William Legan, CBS News reports.
