Christina Passariello, Kelly Kasulis Cho, Annabelle Timsit, Jennifer Hassan, Ellen Francis, Praveena Somasundaram, María Luisa Paúl, Kelsey Ables, Timothy Bella, Andrea Salcedo and Maham Javaid The Washington PostPolice arrested 67-year-old Zhao Chunli of Half Moon Bay at about 4:40 p.m. Monday, shortly after finding him in his vehicle at the parking lot of a San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office substation. Zhao is believed to have acted alone in the shootings, Corpus said.
Both sites are plant nurseries, including a mushroom farm, in a rural area, Corpus said, and Zhao is believed to be a worker at one of the locations. Corpus said the victims, who are still being identified by a coroner, are also believed to be farmworkers in Half Moon Bay, which is about a 40-minute drive from San Francisco and has a population of fewer than 11,400 people.
