Chunli Zhao in custody
The two-location shooting in
Half Moon Bay (CA) a couple of days ago was, while tragic, a work place
violence issue. The shooter, Chunli Zhao, 61, was located by the cops
in the parking lot of the Sheriff's substation in San Mateo County.
Half Moon Bay is a small community of about 12,000. It is an artist
colony with a lot of quirky local agricultural business. Normally their
major crimes are pumpkin theft and goat rustling except for the one
weekend a year when the have the Pumpkin Festival. Then they have a lot
of traffic issues and general assholeishness.
He
killed seven and wounded one more. All but one were male. He used a
semi-automatic pistol which he purchased legally. He worked in a
mushroom harvesting operation.
This
was the third mass murder in CA in just a couple of weeks. This was
one. One, in Gustine, was clearly a narco-gang hit. The third, in LA
at the Dance Studio on Lunar New Year, still does not have a clear
motivation.
