Chunli Zhao reportedly affirms suspected motives of longtime bullying and workplace strife in a TV jailhouse interview.
, with numerous sentencing enhancements attached to each charge that stand to put him in prison for life if he is convicted.
In the television report, which recounted an off-camera interview with Zhao, he is said to have admitted to committing the shootings and described being fed up with long hours at the farm and bullying by his co-workers. The law-enforcement source who spoke to this news organization said the final straw might have been an insult about his “diminutive” size, which is said to have occurred not long before the shootings.
He reportedly voiced remorse for the killings, and suggested that undiagnosed mental illness may have factored into his actions. Zhao also stated that the legally-obtained semi-automatic Ruger pistol that authorities say he used was bought in 2021, and that he moved to the United States 11 years ago on a green card. He and his wife, who both lived on the farm, have a 40-year-old daughter who lives in China, according to the report.
That timeline aligns with court records showing that in 2013, a one-time roommate of Zhao’s at a home in San Joseagainst him after alleging that Zhao tried to smother him to death with a pillow and threatened to use a knife to “split” open his head. The conflict apparently arose, according to a court petition, from Zhao wanting his job back after quitting at a South Bay restaurant where the roommate also worked.
