HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — The shooting rampage in Half Moon Bay that left seven people dead Monday in the coastal agricultural community in San Mateo County appears to be a case of workplace violence, law enforcement officials said.
“The only known connection between the victims and the suspect is that they may have been co-workers,” San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus said at a news conference Tuesday. “All the evidence we have points to this being the instance of workplace violence.”
According to Half Moon Bay Vice Mayor Joaquin Jimenez, the suspect, identified by authorities as Chunli Zhao, 66, also lived with the farmers who were attacked in Monday’s deadly rampage.
