MONTEREY PARK, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 25: People attend a candlelight vigil at the growing memorial outside the Star Ballroom Dance Studio where a deadly mass shooting took place on January 25, 2023 in Monterey Park, California. Eleven people died and nine more were injured at the studio near a Lunar New Year celebration last Saturday night. U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the memorial today and met with families of victims in the predominantly Asian American community of Monterey Park.
Authorities believe it was strategically placed on the 200 block of South Garfield Avenue in Monterey Park as an alternate getaway vehicle.
The Sheriff just tripped all over himself trying to explain how the suspect was able to purchase a Mac 10 and register it in 1999 since it's been illegal since 1992 and no dealer would have sold it. Just proves that criminals can get illegal guns no matter what laws are made.
Other than being Asian, right?
