RELATED: What we know about the 3 people killed in the Gilroy shooting
Within 24 hours of the Gilroy shooting, people were asking on Reddit, "Will what's going on in Gilroy affect security at Outside Lands?
One person commented, "I hope so. I've seen people hop the fences at night and get right into the park."
Police say the alleged shooter bypassed security by cutting through a fence at the garlic festival.

We know that for the Outside Lands event, security will include park rangers from San Francisco Recreation & Parks, police officers and private security brought in by organizers.
But when we asked for more details from SF Rec and Park, that department referred us to the San Francisco Police Department, who said they were not giving on camera interviews and instead sent out a statement saying: "Planning is extensive and begins months in advance."
We then turned to Supervisor Sandra Fewer, who represents the district where Golden Gate Park is located. I told Fewer that the public was concerned about security. But the supervisor asked us to make an appointment and referred us to the San Francisco Police Department.

Even the organizers of the event, Another Planet Entertainment, did not respond to our request for information.
But the organizers of the Hardly Strictly Blue Grass Festival did, only to say that they work with police to ensure protocols are updated and implemented at the event.
Stuart Kesselman is a ticket broker. He says this time last year he had sold several VIP tickets to Outside Lands.
"You get those many people together, it gives a person an easy target," he said. "I don't know if it's the bands or that, or San Francisco, I don't know what it is, but I haven't had any calls for it."
