The shootings followed the killing of 11 people Saturday night at a dance hall in Southern California.
California: Seven people were killed in two related shootings Monday at a mushroom farm and a trucking company in a coastal community south of San Francisco, and a suspect was in custody, authorities said. San Mateo County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dave Pine says four people died at the farm and three at the trucking business outside Half Moon Bay, a city about 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the South San Francisco.
It was not immediately clear how the locations were connected.
California State Sen. Josh Becker, who represents the area, said the people were killed in separate shootings. San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa tweeted that a shooting occurred at a mushroom farm.
The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office tweeted just before 5 p.m. that a suspect was in custody. "There is no continuing threat to the community at this time," the sheriff's office said.
Television footage from the area showed officers taking a man into custody without incident. Aerial television footage also showed police officers collecting evidence at a farm with dozens of greenhouses.
The shooting followed the killing of 11 people Saturday night at a dance hall in Southern California. โWe are sickened by today's tragedy in Half Moon Bay,โ Dave Pine, chairman of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, said in a statement. โWe haven't even had time to grieve for the people lost in the terrible shooting in Monterey Park. Gun violence must stop."
