A previously deported illegal alien named Gustavo Garcia went on a shooting spreed in California’s Central Valley near Fresno. Didn’t hear about this from the national news? I”m not surprised, as stories like this never get coverage.

A 36-year-old man who had been deported at least once and who owned a lengthy rap sheet died Monday after a day-long “reign of terror” in which he shot and killed someone, carjacked another person and led California police on a dangerous high-speed pursuit.
Gustavo Garcia, of Visalia, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on State Route 65 in Porterville when he was ejected from a stolen truck. Four others were injured, including one person who was in critical. Garcia, who was deported in 2014, had engaged in a gun battle with police and purposely tried to smash into other cars during the chase, officials said.
“We have one man that essentially [has] been on a personal reign of terror,” Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said at a news conference.
Garcia has a lengthy criminal record that dates back to 2002, including charges for illegal firearm possession and meth, according to the Fresno Bee. Before his 2014 deportation, Garcia had three Immigration and Customs Enforcement violations. Boudreaux wouldn’t confirm Garcia’s immigration status at the time of his death or what country Garcia originated from.
