HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — The man accused of killing seven people in a shooting rampage at a farm and nursery in Half Moon Bay — unleashing waves of terror, shock and grief throughout this rural coastal community — faces felony charges that could make him eligible for the death penalty, authorities said.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steven Wagstaffe said Wednesday that his office had yet to determine whether to seek capital punishment against the alleged gunman.
That decision “is something that will take place over the course of the next many, many months,” he said during a news conference.
