The 66-year-old gunman who went on a killing spree in Half Moon Bay had legally purchased his firearm, had no prior contact with local law enforcement and was an employee of one of the farms he targeted.
The incident began with San Mateo County Sheriff's deputies being dispatched at 2:22 p.m. to the Mountain Mushroom Farm on San Mateo Road near Highway 1 in unincorporated San Mateo County on a report of a shooting with multiple victims.
While it was not clear yet how the two businesses might be connected, the suspect was described as a disgruntled employee who worked at one of the farms. According to the sheriff's office, Zhao drove himself to the substation located between the two businesses and surrendered to deputies. The weapon -- a semiautomated handgun -- used in the shootings was found in Zhao's vehicle."It was a legally purchased firearm and owned," San Mateo Sheriff's Capt. Eamonn Allen told reporters.
