CNN — 

A suspect is in custody after a shooting incident with multiple victims in the city of Half Moon Bay, California, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said.

“Suspect is in custody. There is no ongoing threat to the community at this time,” the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said in a tweet.

The office did not give more details on the incident after tweeting earlier Monday that law enforcement officials were responding to the shooting.

Indeed, Would go to Half Moon Bay from the Monterey bay area just for the fish and chips. Have no doubt this guy was known as a whacko case even before this. And law enforcement should have been watching him. It's called preventative law enforcement. Unfortunately the liberals block this since some whackos civil rights are more important than public safety.

Just another day in America, the out of control land of guns and people who love to use them on innocents. 

 

And weak politicians who are owned by the NRA, and cling to antiquated 2nd amendment nonsense.

California's gun confiscation policies don't seem to be working, with two mass shootings in as many days; too bad there isn't Constitutional Carry in the state - then someone with a gun may have been present to stop these shooters.

Nice dug at Liberals.

 

I think you’ll find it’s the gun rights advocates that get in the way of keeping guns out of the hands of wackos.

True. And likely many of the guys who end up committing serial killing not only benefit from the obsession to keep guns legal and easy to acquire, but also from the refusal to tighten background checks and the sick, dastardly, heinous gun lobby influence over weak, morally challenged right wing politicians.
