Another massacre in California, 7 people were shot and killed

More California blood. Within hours of the Los Angeles ballroom shooting, a man shot and killed seven people in the Half Bay Moon area of San Mateo County, south of San Francisco. The killer is in the custody of the officers who found him in the parking lot of a nearby police station.

The man was identified as 67-year-old Zhao Chunli and the victims, according to rumors, are Chinese farmers. “He was stopped without problems and the weapon was found. There is no danger to the community,” the police said. Chunli opened fire in the early afternoon at two different locations not far from each other. The reasons for this crazy gesture are not yet known and the police are investigating trying to shed light on what happened.

California Senator Josh Baker echoes him: “I will do everything I can to support the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department and Half Moon Bay officials during these difficult times.”

For California, the US state with the strictest gun laws, this is the second massacre in a few hours.
