San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe confirmed local news reports that the suspect was involved in a workplace dispute over the bill.

Chunli Zhao, 66, faces seven counts of murder and one of attempted murder.

The suspect was employed at a local mushroom farm.

In separate interviews, Mr Wagstaff told station KTVU and CNN that the suspect told law enforcement that the repair bill might have "lit the candle" that led to the shooting.
