HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (AP) — Farmworkers at two mushrooms farms in California’s Half Moon Bay are back at work barely a week after seven of their colleagues were shot and killed. Three workers who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity say they need to earn a living and the farm is the only place where others understand what they experienced. The three all work at Concord Farms, where three people died. They were granted anonymity because they are traumatized and feared the attention that would come if their names are publicized. Authorities say Chunli Zhao shot and killed seven current or former coworkers at two farms because of workplace grievances.
