Los Angeles, United States .- Seven people were killed and one seriously injured in two shootings in Half Moon Bay, in northern California, US media reported.
The San Mateo County Sheriff said on Twitter that officers responded to “a shooting incident with multiple victims” and that a suspect had been taken into custody.
“The suspect is in custody. There is no ongoing threat to the community at this time,” it reported.
The two incidents occurred on farms close to each other in an area south of San Francisco.
ABC7, citing law enforcement sources, initially reported one person dead and three injured at the Mountain Mushroom Farm. Three people died at the nearby Rice Tucking-Soil farm, it said on its website.
As recently as Saturday night, a massacre took place in Southern California, in which 11 people were fatally shot in a dance hall by a 72-year-old man, who later killed himself.
The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, who had been in Monterey Park, where that massacre took place, spoke on Twitter moments after the news of the new massacre broke.
“In the hospital meeting with the victims of a mass shooting when they take me out to inform me of another shooting. This time in Half Moon Bay. Tragedy after tragedy,” he said.
