Police said nine people were killed on Saturday night during a Chinese New Year celebration in the Los Angeles area. The crime was committed on Saturday evening (local time) in Monterey Park, an eastern suburb of the Pacific metropolis in the US state of California, as the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office announced on Twitter. According to eyewitnesses, a man shot himself with an automatic rifle.
The incident happened shortly after 10 p.m. (local time) on Saturday evening. It was initially unclear whether there were arrests. The owner of a restaurant near the crime scene said three people ran into his place and asked him to lock the door. They said the shooter carried so much ammunition that he could reload over and over again.
