Police in Half Moon Bay, Calif. are calling a mass shooting that claimed the lives of seven people and critically injured one more on Monday as a "workplace violence incident," said Eamonn Allen of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.

Officers arrested 66-year-old Chunli Zhao in connection with the shooting after his vehicle was spotted in a police parking lot. The suspect was taken into custody and was "fully cooperating."

Four people were found dead and a fifth injured from gunshot wounds at one agricultural location, and three others were found dead at another several miles away, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s office said.

It was the state's third mass killing in eight days, and two days after Saturday's attack at a dance hall that killed 11 during Lunar New Year celebrations.
