ballroom dance hall in Monterey Park killed 11 people and injured nine
others, impacting a mostly Asian-American clientele. The dance hall was

and joy for the neighborhood, which adds to the sense of grief for that
community. And on Monday, a shooter in Half Moon Bay killed seven people
at two businesses. Read More | |
