The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting at the Moonridge Housing Community, a farmworker development in Half Moon Bay, where a man was left with gunshot wounds.
According to a release, on Saturday, January 20, at approximately 7:09 p.m., San Mateo County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the report of a shooting in the vicinity of Tea Rd. and Pear Orchard Way in the Moonridge Housing Community, located on the unincorporated coast of the county south of Half Moon Bay.
