The “Year of the Rabbit” began in horror on Sunday for the inhabitants of Monterey Park, the largely Asian American suburb of Los Angeles where a mass shooting left 10 people dead.
MONTEREY PARK, United States –
But around the dance hall where the shooting unfolded, yellow police tape and heavily armed policemen supplanted any sign of festivities. On Saturday night, a gunman entered the ballroom and killed five men and five women, and wounding at least 10 others, authorities said. Residents here read newspapers in Mandarin, most business signs are in Chinese, and the majority of the inhabitants approached by an AFP journalist did not speak English.
“It’s a really sad thing, this country is getting crazy,” Nam said. “We saw mass shootings in a lot of different cities and in other states, but now it is coming to us.”“I’m often confronted with violence but in other areas of Los Angeles,” Kwan said. “It’s the first time that I see it in my own community.”
“I feel like this is a personal story,” said Jerry Liu, a 26-year-old truck driver, near the hundreds of white tents lined up at the Lunar New Year market.
