Four people were killed at the farm and three at the trucking business on the outskirts of Half Moon Bay, a city about 48 kilometres south of San Francisco, according to San Mateo County Board of Supervisors President Dave Pine.It wasn't immediately clear how the locations were connected, though Pine said the suspect worked for one of the businesses. He called the suspect a "disgruntled worker.
The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office first received reports of a shooting just before 2:30 p.m. local time and found four people dead from gunshot wounds and a fifth injured person at the first scene. Shortly thereafter, officers found three more people dead from gunshot wounds at a second location about eight kilometres away, Capt. Eamonn Allen said in a news release.The sheriff's office did not share any information about the connection between the two locations.
"We're still trying to understand exactly what happened and why, but it's just incredibly, incredibly tragic," said Becker, who called the area "a very close-knit" agricultural community.Aerial television images also showed police officers collecting evidence from a farm with dozens of greenhouses.
