Digital Desk: On Tuesday, at least seven people were slain in separate shootings in the California city of Half Moon Bay. This was the state's second mass shooting in three days.
According to US media reports, the killings injured Chinese farmworkers, and the culprit has been identified as 67-year-old farmworker Zhao Chunli. He shot his coworkers and then fled the scene.
"The suspect has been apprehended. At this moment, there is no ongoing threat to the community "San Mateo County Sheriff said in a tweet.
The gunman was apprehended after being discovered in his vehicle in the parking area of the Half Moon Bay substation, according to the sheriff's office. He was apprehended without incident, and a weapon was discovered in his car.
A video of his detention showed authorities putting Zhao Chunli (in a red shirt) to the ground before arresting him.
