Thursday marks two years since one of the darkest days on the Peninsula, and the city is introducing plan options for a permanent memorial. Seven farmworkers lost their lives during a mass shooting in Half Moon Bay when one farmworker walked into two separate farms and opened fire.

Flowers and a banner were placed near Half Moon Bay City Hall Thursday in commemoration of the 2-year anniversary of the mass shootings that left 7 farm workers dead and prompted calls for change and more scrutiny to farm workers' living conditions and mental health.

It was the deadliest shooting shooting recorded in San Mateo County, but one man who was shot survived. Now, he’s telling his story.

The Half Moon Bay community on Thursday marked two years since a gunman killed seven people at two mushroom farms, a mass shooting that also put a spotlight on the horrific living conditions many farm workers were forced to endure.

Two years ago, seven people were killed in Half Moon Bay when a disgruntled employee opened fire at two local mushroom farms. On Thursday, the city and its residents paid their respects. The city laid out flowers early Thursday morning to honor the victims.

Investigations into the shooting revealed immigrant farm workers in the area were made to live in deplorable conditions.

Half Moon Bay on Thursday will honor the seven farmworkers killed two years ago in a mass shooting and continue to push for a memorial as well as livable housing for all farmworkers.
