Monterey Park community reacts to mass shooting during Lunar New Year.


Recommended Posts

The city of Monterey Park, California, had planned to gather in celebration this week. Instead, they joined together in mourning as the community held a vigil for 11 people murdered at a local dance hall just two days before.

Residents and leaders of the city's Asian-American community organised a candlelight memorial outside the city hall on Monday evening to honour the victims, holding a powerful three-minute moment of silence and reciting prayers from a range of faiths.

"Our joyous Lunar New Year celebration was turned utterly upside down into tragedy and fear," said Representative Judy Chu. "We must support one another and work our way through this."
