According to a report from NBC Bay Area, the alleged Half Moon Bay killer was enraged by a $100 bill from his boss following a workplace accident.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told the Bay Area News Group on Friday that a report that suspected Half Moon Bay killer Chunli Zhao told investigators his shooting spree came after he was enraged by a $100 equipment bill from his boss was accurate.Zhao was instructed to pay a $100 bill after a workplace incident, an order which he disputed. Zhao claimed that while he was operating a forklift, the vehicle was struck by a coworker on a bulldozer.
A bulldozer rides along the California Terra Gardens farm in Half Moon Bay, Calif., on Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023. Chunli Zhao, 66, who allegedly lived and worked there, has been charged with seven counts of murder and one count of attempted murder for the mass shooting on Monday. Approximately 30 minutes before the shooting, according to the station, he vented his frustrations over the bill to a supervisor.
After confronting his boss once more, the report says, he shot the supervisor and the coworker he blamed for the accident. Zhao was formally charged Wednesday with seven counts of murder and one count of attempted murder with additional sentencing enhancements. According to the NBC Bay Area report, he took responsibility for the shootings while speaking to investigators.
