The Half Moon Bay shooting on Monday, in which seven people died, was the second of two gun rampages in California in recent days in which an aggregate of 18 people were killed. The consulate explosively condemned the killings, which took place in the San Francisco Bay area on Monday, and transferred its condolences to the victims ’ families. “We’re in close contact with relative departments in the US and laboriously covering any update of the disquisition,” the statement said. “In the meantime, we’ve gotten in touch with the family members of the victims, and will do as important as we can to give consular backing”.
The blowups took place in a small littoral community, at a mushroom ranch and another point about two long hauls down. It was the state’s alternate mass firing in three days after the Monterey Park attack, which left 11 people dead. Authorities linked the suspect as 67- year-old Half Moon Bay occupant Chunli Zhao. He was taken into guardianship without incident at about 4.40p.m. after he was set up in his vehicle in the parking lot of the sheriff’s office substation in Half Moon Bay, the sheriff’s office said. Semi-automatic handgun was set up in his auto. Zhao shot three of the victims in the campers where they lived next to the field where they worked and also plugged down two others in the field itself, officers said.
Questions remain about what could have motivated the firing. But officers said Tuesday the attack was a “plant violence incident,” and that Zhao had targeted specific people. He was a “colleague or former colleague” of the victims at each firing point, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s office said. Four victims were set up at a mushroom ranch, while the other three were later discovered at a nearby trucking business. An eighth victim is presently being treated in the sanitarium and is in critical condition. The community is in shock and mourning as they come to terms with the senseless violence that has taken place.
