A suspect has been arrested after seven people were killed in two related shootings at a mushroom farm and a trucking firm in a coastal community south of San Francisco. San Mateo County Board of Supervisors president Dave Pine says four people were killed at the farm and three at the trucking business on the outskirts of Half Moon Bay, a city about 30 miles south of San Francisco.
The police have now taken 67-year-old Zhao Chunli into custody in connection with the shooting, Pine said. It was not immediately clear how the locations were connected, though Mr Pine said the suspect worked for one of the businesses.
He described the suspect as a "disgruntled worker". The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office tweeted just before 5pm (1am UK time) that a suspect was in custody. "There is no ongoing threat to the community at this time," the sheriff’s office said.
