According to media reports, nine people were killed by gunfire during a Chinese New Year celebration in the Los Angeles area. Numerous injuries have also been reported.
According to eyewitnesses, a man shot himself with an automatic rifle. The incident happened shortly after 10 p.m. (local time, Sunday 7 a.m. CET) on Saturday evening in Monterey Park, an eastern suburb of the Pacific metropolis in the US state of California.
Sagittarius would carry enough ammunition
The owner of a restaurant near the crime scene said three people stormed into his home and asked him to lock the door. They said the shooter was carrying so much ammunition that he could reload over and over.
Other eyewitnesses initially said they believed it was fireworks when the first shots were fired. The police would have found many of the victims in a shop.
A few hours earlier, tens of thousands of people took to the streets to celebrate Chinese New Year. Monterey Park is a city of about 60,000 people with a large Asian population. It is about 10 miles from downtown Los Angeles.
