California Half Moon Bay Shooting Suspect In Custody | Mass Shooting In California | US News Live

Seven people were killed in a mass shooting at two locations in the coastal northern California city of Half Moon Bay on Monday (January 23), and the suspect was later taken into custody after driving to a police parking lot, officials said.

Half Moon Bay is about 30 miles (50 km) south of San Francisco.

Deputies responding to a call found four people dead and a fifth victim wounded at the first location in Half Moon Bay, then found three more dead at another place nearby, Sheriff Christina Corpus told a news conference.

"This is a devastating tragedy for this community and the families touched by this unspeakable act of violence," Corpus said.

One of the locations was a mushroom farm, the San Francisco Chronicle said.

Video shot by ABC showed the arrest as two men in plainclothes and one uniformed deputy, guns drawn, ordered the man out of his car. The suspect came out, was thrown to the ground and searched for weapons. Multiple uniformed officers quickly arrived on the scene with long guns.

A gun was found in his car, Corpus said.

The latest mass shooting took place just two days after another in which 11 people were killed in the city of Monterey Park in Los Angeles County, about 400 miles (640 km) to the south.
