Authorities believe Zhao acted alone and was arrested “without incident.” He fully cooperated with the police. There was no immediate information about the cause of the shooting.
The shooting in Half Moon Bay was the second mass shooting in California in three days. Another mass shooting took place over the weekend, claiming the lives of 11 people in Monterey Park, a city in Southern California.
The shooter is believed to be a worker at either or both locations. The victims are also believed to be Chinese farm workers.
