HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (AP) — 7 people were killed in 2 related shootings Monday at agricultural facilities in a California coastal community south of San Francisco & a suspect was in custody.
4 people were found dead and a fifth injured from gunshot wounds at one location, & 3 others were found dead at another several miles away, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s office said.
Details about the locations weren’t immediately clear. Sheriff Christina Corpus said they were nurseries.
The shootings occurred on the outskirts of Half Moon Bay.
Officers arrested 67-year-old Chunli Zhao in connection with the shooting.
Officials believe Zhao is a worker at 1 of the facilities & that the victims were workers as well. Some workers at one facility lived on the premises & children may have witnessed the shooting, Corpus said. The connection between the new facilities wasn’t clear.
Corpus said officials hadn’t determined a motive for the shooting, though county Board of Supervisors President Dave Pine described the suspect as a “disgruntled worker.”
The shooting was the nation’s sixth mass shooting this year & followed the killing of 11 people late Saturday at a ballroom dance hall in Southern California.
