Half Moon Bay Mass Shooting Suspect Indicted on Multiple Murder Charges

Chunli Zhao, accused of killing seven coworkers at two farms, faces seven counts of first-degree murder and one of attempted murder, superseding initial charges.

Chunli Zhao, the man accused of killing seven people and injuring another at two farms in Half Moon Bay, California, last January, has been indicted by a grand jury on seven counts of first-degree murder and a count of attempted first-degree murder.
Zhao, a Chinese citizen, shot five people at a mushroom farm where he worked – killing four – and fatally shot three more at a farm about 2 miles away.
Five of the seven killed were Chinese citizens, according to China’s consulate in San Francisco.
After the killings, Zhao was charged with seven counts of murder and one count of attempted murder and pleaded not guilty in February. The grand jury indictment supersedes the initial felony complaint against Zhao.
Zhao was a coworker or former coworker of the victims at each shooting site, and evidence indicated the attack was an instance of workplace violence in which specific people were targeted.
