Ten people have been killed in a shooting during Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations in California, police have confirmed. During a news conference, Captain Andrew Meyer said at least another 10 people are being treated in local hospitals and their conditions ranged from critical to stable. The gunman is still on the run and a motive for the attack has not yet been identified, he added. Officers responded to the shooting in Monterey Park, a city just east of Los Angeles, at around 10.20pm on Saturday night (around 6.20am on Sunday UK time) after a local business reported shots had been fired. They arrived to find people "screaming" outside a ballroom dance studio, reportedly the Star Dance Studio on Garvey Avenue, and several victims still inside. Videos posted online showed officers swarming the area, firefighters attending to injured people and victims on stretchers being put into ambulances. Seafood restaurant owner Seung Won Choi told the LA Times that three people rushed into his business and told him to lock the door because a man with a machine gun and multiple rounds of ammunition was outside.

Torrance, California CNN — An ongoing police standoff in Torrance, California is believed to be connected to the investigation into the massacre that killed 10 people in Monterey Park, a law enforcement source tells CNN.
Authorities had been searching for the gunman who opened fire Saturday night at a dance studio in Monterey Park as the city’s large Asian American community was celebrating Lunar New Year weekend.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department released images of the wanted suspect.
A group of people wrestled a gun away from man described as an Asian male at a dance studio in the nearby city of Alhambra shortly after the Monterey Park mass shooting Saturday, Luna said. The sheriff said investigators are trying to determine whether the two incidents are related.
