A suspect allegedly opened fire on the crowd with an assault weapon

At least nine people have been killed in a mass shooting in Monterey Park, a predominantly Asian city in southern California on the west coast of the United States, local authorities reported Sunday. The congregation celebrated the end of the Chinese year and thousands of people had come.

Apparently the suspect is a man who allegedly fired an assault weapon near a dance club an hour after the celebration.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department detectives assist the Monterey Park Police Department in an investigation into the death by shooting. There are nine dead,” said a statement published shortly after noon (Spanish time) this Sunday. More details about this tragic event are not yet known.

Tens of thousands of people had gathered that day for the two-day Chinese New Year festivities, which are among the largest in Southern California.
