The gunman who opened fire at a ballroom dance studio in Monterey Park on Saturday night, killing 10 people and injuring 10 others, remained at large Sunday morning, authorities said.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said, “We are utilizing every resource to apprehend this suspect in what we believe to be one of the county’s most heinous cases.”
The shooting occurred near the site where tens of thousands had gathered Saturday for the start of a two-day Lunar New Year festival, one of the largest holiday events in the region. Sunday’s events were canceled in view of the shooting, authorities said.
