Families impacted by the Monterey Park shooting have been asked to meet at the Langley Senior Center where county officials are providing them updates and mental health services.
The mass shooting, one of California’s worst in recent memory, happened around 10:22 p.m. in the 100 block of West Garvey Avenue at Star Dance Studio.
Law enforcement were on scene Sunday morning in Alhambra at the Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio in the 100 block of South Garfield Avenue, about two miles north of the Monterey Park shooting. It was not clear whether the police activity at that site was the incident referenced by authorities. A handmade sign affixed to the front doors said, “Closed, in observance to Star Dance Tragedy” in red marker.
They said there was a man with a semiautomatic gun in the area. The shooter, they said, had multiple rounds of ammunition, so that once his ammunition ran out he reloaded, Choi said. The motive for the shooting remained under investigation, officials said, including as a possible hate crime or domestic violence incident.Hate crimes against Asian Americans in CaliforniaWinn Liaw, 57, said she lives about two blocks from the studio and was in bed shortly before 11 p.m. on Saturday when she heard what sounded like firecrackers.

Chen said he grew up in the area, and about a dozen of his relatives and friends live there.“This is [supposed to be] a happy time,” he said. “I want to find out as much as possible. It’s still shocking.
