At least seven people were killed in two related shootings in the beach-side community of Half Moon Bay, California, an act of violence that comes just two days after 11 people were killed in another mass shooting in Monterey Park.
The suspected shooter, a 67-year-old resident of the community, opened fire in two rural locations about a mile distant, shooting some of the victims in front of children who lived nearby and had recently been released from school.
“This kind of shooting is horrific; it’s a tragedy we hear about too often,” San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus said. “For children to witness this is unspeakable.”
