A mass shooting in the Los Angeles area has left 11 people dead and many more injured. Police are still searching for a motive as to why the gunman opened fire in the Monterey Park area.
The shooter was disarmed by a brave bystander who spoke out about the incident saying, “Something came over me.” The man’s heroic actions likely prevented further casualties.
The tragedy has sparked a nationwide conversation about gun violence and gun control policies. While California has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States, the mass shooting still occurred. This has prompted many to call for more comprehensive gun control measures.
The shooting has also brought attention to the issue of gun violence in Missouri. Missouri has some of the weakest gun laws in the country and has seen its fair share of mass shootings. In comparison, California is still safer than Missouri when it comes to gun violence.
The victims of the Monterey Park shooting have been identified and their families are asking for privacy during this difficult time. The investigation is ongoing and police are still searching for a motive.
