January is being a bloody month in California. After the “horrific massacre” of six people in a house in the town of Goshen, located in the San Joaquin Valley, in the middle of the month and the multiple murder of 11 people in a dance hall in Monterey Park at a party celebrating the Chinese New Year, this Monday the authorities have reported a “shooting with multiple victims” in Half Moon Bay, a town located south of San Francisco.
According to the local station of the NBC chain and other media in the area, at least four people have died after different shootings in Half Moon Bay, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation. Three victims were found at a location on San Mateo Road (Highway 92). A fourth victim was found at a nearby location, the source said. Three other people are injured in critical condition, according to ABC7 News.
