At least seven dead in two shootings in California

 

Seven people have been killed in an agricultural region of northern California, authorities said on Monday, the latest shootings to rattle the state in recent days.

Two fatal shootings took place at a mushroom farm and a trucking firm on the outskirts of Half Moon Bay, a coastal community about 30 miles south of San Francisco, officials said.

Dave Pine, the president of the San Mateo county board of supervisors, said that four people died at the farm and three at the trucking business.

Police have arrested a suspect, named as 67-year-old Zhao Chunli, in connection with the shooting, Pine said.
