Another Mass Shooting Horror In California

Seven people were killed in two related shootings on Monday at agricultural facilities in a California coastal community south of San Francisco.

The shooting marked the state’s third mass killing in eight days, including Saturday’s attack at a dance hall that killed 11 during Lunar New Year celebrations.

Officers arrested a suspect in Monday’s shootings, 67-year-old Chunli Zhao, after they found him in his car in the parking lot of a sheriff’s substation, San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus said.

Four people were found dead and a fifth injured from gunshot wounds at a farm, and officers found three other people killed at another location several miles away, the Sheriff’s Office said.

The killings occurred on the outskirts of Half Moon Bay, a city about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of San Francisco. Corpus said the two locations were nurseries, and it wasn’t immediately clear how they were connected.

The new year has brought a shocking string of mass killings in the U.S. to six in less than three weeks, accounting for 39 deaths.
