At least 10 deceased, 10 + injured. Ballroom. Large Asian population. Large venue. Popular dances every weekend. FBI Now involved
Unknown suspect, no description. Still AT LAEGE.
ETA: corrected. All I know is they showed a map on CNN with Monterey on it. Sorry

I lived in Monterey for 4 years. It’s such a peaceful place. So sad.

Just googled it… Monterey PARK. It’s in Southern California. Much different from the coastal town in central California called Monterey. Phew! But still horrible.

It was a party they have every year to start New Year. Other festivities have been canceled. Alhambra also had an incident and it may be same gunman.

So sad! I have friends and family that live/lived there. Used to go to the area quite often. This one hits close to home for me. 😢

It looks like the SWAT team may have the shooter surrounded and neutralized.

Not that it's less awful to for something like this to occur anywhere, but I'm going to Monterey (well, Seaside) next week to visit a client and was horrified to think this happened there. It's a small town and I was thinking there's no way there wouldn't be some kind of connection between some victims and some people at the company.
It's just disgusting that we accept this as normal and won't do anything to change it.

There is a deceased man inside the van. the swat team has opened the van and been inside. It's too early to confirm if this person was the shooter from last night.

Someone is saying that the shooting is because of domestic violence. He was served with divorce papers. 😢

It makes me ill that a chunk of our population still believes something like this is “the price of freedom.” I blame the Supreme Court for opening up the gates of hell with that damned Heller decision. Not that it's less awful to for something like this to occur anywhere, but I'm going to Monterey (well, Seaside) next week to visit a client and was horrified to think this happened there. It's a small town and I was thinking there's no way there wouldn't be some kind of connection between some victims and some people at the company. It's just disgusting that we accept this as normal and won't do anything to change it. I’m going to be in Seaside next week, too … well, this coming Thursday through Sunday. Get in touch if you’re interested in meeting up. |

Not so long ago an elderly Asia man killed how many in a church? Thinking California, but not really sure about that, though.

They just did a live update. The guy was 72 years old. He shot himself pretty much as soon as his van was cornered. He was linked to both the Monterey Park and Alhambra shooting. They did not mention a motive.

I lived in Monterey Park for a few years and went to high school in Alhambra. It's a suburb of Los Angeles. What a senseless tragedy. We are literally the only country that has constant mass shootings.

They did not mention a motive. ABC News says that he may have been targeting his ex-wife. I’m watching an interview right now with the young man who I believe they just said wrestled the gun away from him. They also found more guns in his house. Apparently had also gone to the police claiming that members of his own family had tried to poison him. |
