The suspect in two shootings at Northern California farms that left seven dead and another wounded was an employee at one of the locations, authorities say.
The Associated PressA suspect is arrested after a mass shooting at two locations in the coastal northern California city of Half Moon Bay on Monday.
Seven people were found dead and an eighth wounded at a farm and another location several kilometres away, the sheriff's office said. Officials have suspected that the shooter worked at one of the facilities and that the victims were workers as well, Corpus said. They haven't determined a motive for the shooting.
California was still reeling Tuesday from an attack on a Lunar New Year celebration in Monterey Park, Calif., that killed 11 and cast a shadow over an important holiday for many Asian American communities. Authorities are still seeking a motive for the Saturday shooting. And on Jan. 16, a teenage mother and her baby were among six people killed in a shooting at a home in California's Central Valley. Officials discussing the investigation mentioned a possible gang link to the killings.
A video of the arrest showed three officers approaching a parked car with drawn weapons. Zhao got out of the car, and the officers pulled him to the ground, put him in handcuffs, and led him away. A weapon was found in his vehicle, officials said. The video was captured by Kati McHugh, a Half Moon Bay resident who witnessed the arrest."We're still trying to understand exactly what happened and why, but it's just incredibly, incredibly tragic," said state Sen.
