Half Moon Bay: Mass shooting likely case of workplace violence - police
A mass shooting at a farm and a nearby site in California which killed seven people was probably a case of "workplace violence", said police.
The attack took place on Tuesday in the coastal city of Half Moon Bay. Some of the victims were Chinese-American.
Suspect Chunli Zhao, 66, was arrested after driving to a police station.
The incident took place only two days after 11 were shot dead in Monterey Park - south-east of Half Moon Bay - during Lunar New Year celebrations.
The back-to-back shootings came so close together that California's Governor Gavin Newsom was meeting victims of the first attack in a hospital when he was briefed about the second.
He voiced exasperation over US gun laws, and in emotional remarks at a news conference said he had grown weary of having to "say the same things we hear again and again" in the wake of mass shootings. "What the hell is wrong with us, that we allow these weapons of war and large capacity clips out on the streets and sidewalks?"
