The lone survivor of the 2023 Half Moon Bay mass shooting is suing his former workplace and the business owner.
Pedro Perez underwent three surgeries, and is still in a lot of pain. His brother was also killed at California Terra Garden, where they both worked and lived. 'I had two bullets in my stomach, one in my face, one in my arm and a bullet in my back,' said Perez in Spanish at a Friday morning press conference.
'This case is about holding a landlord accountable for failing to protect the tenants on its property,' said Perez's attorney Duffy Magilligan. Magilligan claimed the owner did nothing to prevent the mass shooting, even though he knew about the alleged shooter's violent history. The attorney said there was also a separate shooting at the farm months before.
