January is a bloody month in California. After the “horrific massacre” of six people in a home in the San Joaquin Valley town of Goshen in mid-month and the multiple killings of 11 people at a dance hall in Monterey Park celebrating the Chinese New Year, authorities this Monday issued a ” “Multiple shootout” in Half Moon Bay, a city about 50 kilometers south of San Francisco. Local media reports seven dead and one seriously injured.
Later, a senior San Mateo County official confirmed that a 67-year-old man named Zhao Chunli was arrested for the attacks.
