At least seven people have been killed in two shootings in the US coastal town of Half Moon Bay. One person was also seriously injured, the authorities report. A 67-year-old suspect has been arrested and the danger is over, the police say.
The shootings were at two locations in the city south of San Francisco. One of the places, according to local media, is a mushroom farm. Four dead were found at one location, three at the other.
Children may have seen the shooting. The locations are close to each other.
Dissatisfied employee
It is still unclear what the motive for the shootings was. The suspect, Chunli Zhao, is said to have worked at one of the companies and was dissatisfied. Police believe he acted alone. The victims are also believed to be workers.
The man was arrested in a police parking lot. A semi-automatic weapon was found in his car.
