UPDATED. Another 10 people are taken to local hospitals to be treated for injuries, and at least one is in critical condition, the police say.
A man fatally shot 10 people at a ballroom dance venue where people were celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year late on Saturday, January 21, in a city on the eastern edge of Los Angeles, and he was still at large after fleeing the scene, police said.
When local police first arrived, people were “pouring out of the location screaming,” department captain Andrew Meyer told reporters in a news briefing at the scene. The shooting took place after 10 pm PST around the location of a Chinese Lunar New Year celebration where many downtown streets are closed for festivities that draw thousands of people from across Southern California. Police said the festivities planned for Sunday were now cancelled.
Footage posted on social media showed injured people on stretchers being taken to ambulances by emergency staff. Around the scene of the shooting police guarded cordoned-off streets, the video showed.
