A deadly rampage by a 67-year-old suspect in Northern California was likely an act of workplace violence, authorities said Tuesday, offering fresh details about the second in back-to-back mass shootings that killed 18 people and horrified the nation.
The suspects in both attacks are men of retirement age, much older than typical perpetrators of deadly mass shootings that have become routine in the United States.On Monday, a gunman in Half Moon Bay opened fire on employees at Mountain Mushroom Farm, where he had previously worked, and Concord Farms, about a mile away.
Zhao was expected to be formally charged on Wednesday and was due to make his first appearance in court at the Hall of Justice in Redwood City at 1:30 pm on Wednesday.“Even as we await further details on these shootings, we know the scourge of gun violence across America requires stronger action,” he said.
Tran then drove to a second dance hall nearby, but was unable to inflict further damage because the club’s operator wrestled his weapon away. He fled in a white cargo van. Among the 11 victims were two fishermen from Taiwan, according to the Taiwanese consulate in Los Angeles, and multiple Chinese citizens, according to the Chinese consulate.It ranked as the deadliest mass shooting ever in Los Angeles County, according to Hilda Solis, a member of the county Board of Supervisors.
A database of 185 mass shootings between 1966 and 2022 maintained by the nonprofit Violence Project includes just one carried out by someone 70 or older – a retired miner who killed five people in Kentucky in 1981.
