A shooting in Northern California left at least seven people dead after shootings at two farms and a suspect was in police custody, authorities said Monday.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to a shooting at a mushroom farm in the 12700 block of San Mateo Road in unincorporated San Mateo County just after 2:20 p.m. where they found four people killed by gunshot wounds.
A fifth victim was taken to Stanford Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. A short time later, officers responded to the 2100 block of Cabrillo Highway South near the Rice Trucking Soil Farm, where they found three more deceased victims.

The suspected gunman turned himself in at the sheriff’s substation. He was identified as Chunli Zhou, 67, a resident of Half Moon Bay. A weapon believed to have been used in the shootings was found in his vehicle, authorities said.
The motive for the slayings is unknown, San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus said at a news conference Monday night. She said Zhou was a worker at one of the locations and appears to have acted alone.
President Biden was briefed on the shooting, the White House said.
“He has asked federal law enforcement to provide necessary assistance to local authorities,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted. “As more details become available, the president will be updated.”
The shooting came days after another gunman killed 11 people and wounded several more during a Lunar New Year celebration at a Monterey Park, California, dance studio over the weekend.
At least four people were killed Monday in separate locations in Northern California.
