Half Moon Bay shooting: Biden pushes assault weapons ban despite few details on type of gun used
< < Go Back
President Biden encouraged lawmakers Tuesday to get a bill banning assault weapons to his desk and take immediate action following the mass shooting in Half Moon Bay, California, despite few specifics on what type of gun was used.
Authorities have indicated the gunman used a semiautomatic rifle, but have not said if the rifle is a so-called “assault” weapon.
At least seven people were shot dead and an eighth victim injured Monday afternoon at two separate locations in the northern California coastal city just south of San Francisco.
The suspect, believed to be a disgruntled former employee according to reports, shot four people and injured a fifth at a mushroom farm on the 12700 block of San Mateo Road before authorities found three others shot dead roughly three miles away, located at the 2100 block of Cabrillo Highway South near the Rice Trucking Soil Farm.
The connection between the farms remains unclear.
The suspected gunman, identified as 67-year-old Zhao Chunli, showed up at a San Mateo County sheriff’s station and is believed to have turned himself in.
