DOZENS DIE AND SUSPECT AT LARGE IN CALIFORNIA SHOOTING.

A gunman is still at large after killing no fewer than ten people near Los Angeles in one of California’s deadliest mass shootings. Another ten people were wounded and some are in a critical condition. The shooting in Monterey Park, which has a large Asian population, happened shortly after thousands of people had gathered for a Lunar New Year festival.

According to report, the gunman opened fire on a busy dance studio in the downtown area of the city. Victims were treated both inside the Star Ballroom Dance Studio and in the car park outside, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said.

Meanwhile, as at the time of filing this report, officers are hunting for a male suspect between the age of thirty and fifty who fled the scene, but have received different descriptions of the attacker. Also the motive for the attack is still unclear.
