“It has almost become a kind of travel writing, mapping the path of gun violence around every American demographic,” embot writes.
The news that a mass shooting had taken place at a ballroom-dance studio in the Los Angeles County city of Monterey Park, leaving eleven dead and nine wounded, broke late at night on January 21st. Headlines described it as “the deadliest mass shooting since,” which happened less than a year before. Many L.A. residents, even those who live nearby, only heard about the event the following morning, when they woke up and looked at their phones.
A couple of residents walked up to the police tape, both of them of Asian descent. One, Wynn Liaw, who has lived in Monterey Park for forty years, had walked out of her house nearby to see why the helicopters were out. She wore a quilted jacket, Ugg-style sheepskin boots, and a bucket hat for the sun, which was already strong despite the early hour. As a neighbor told her about the shooting, she looked stunned. She had spent the previous day cooking for the holiday, she said. She’d had no idea.
“I’m sure they’re Asian, who else would hang around in this area?” the neighbor said. “They’re probably young, too, anywhere from eighteen to twenty-five.” “This dance studio, it’s dark, and the people, the men and the women, dress very sexy,” he said. “They talk weird, and they act weird.” He continued, “I think this place should have been shut down a long time ago.”
