NEW: President Joe Biden releases a statement on the Half Moon Bay mass shooting that left seven dead and one injured as investigators try to determine the motive.
One man who arrived at the reunification center Monday night told NBC Bay Area he knew the suspect, and they had worked together at one of the farms. The man did not wish to be indentified."There's lots of tragedies hitting our country right now, more mass shootings than the number of days in a month, and to hit our small town is really shocking," Half Moon Bay resident Evany Sullivan said.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday released a statement addressing the Half Moon Bay mass shooting, saying in part:"Jill and I are praying for those killed and injured in the latest tragic shooting in Half Moon Bay, California. For the second time in recent days, California communities are mourning the loss of loved ones in a senseless act of gun violence.
"Following a briefing from my homeland security team, I have directed my administration to ensure local authorities and the broader Half Moon Bay community have the full support of the federal government in the wake of this heinous attack. "Yesterday, Senator Feinstein — alongside Senators Murphy, Blumenthal and others — reintroduced a federal Assault Weapons Ban and legislation that would raise the minimum purchase age for assault weapons to 21. Even as we await further details on these shootings, we know the scourge of gun violence across America requires stronger action.
