Mass shooting in San Francisco area leaves 7 dead
A man opened fire on people at two separate locations in Half Moon Bay on Monday afternoon, killing seven and injuring one, according to law enforcement.
When San Mateo County Sheriff deputies arrived to the scene on the 12700 block of Cabrillo Highway shortly before 2:30 p.m., they found four people shot dead. They transported a fifth victim to Stanford Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, then found three more people dead from gunshot wounds at a nearby location, according to a statement from Sheriff’s Captain Eamonn Allen.
Investigators identified the suspect as 67-year-old Zhao Chunli. Two hours after the incident, a deputy glimpsed Chunli’s car in the parking lot of the Half Moon Bay Sheriff’s substation, where he was peacefully taken into custody. Deputies said they found the weapon used in the incident inside his car.“There is no current outstanding threat to the community,” Allen said in the statement. The sheriff opened a family reunification center at IDES Hall on 735 Main Street.
The burst of violence occurred one day after a separate mass shooting in Monterey Park, California. Public officials and advocates against gun violence still reeling from the deaths of 10 at Monterey Park during the Lunar New Year were quick to condemn the bloodshed in Half Moon Bay Monday.
