Multiple casualties at California shooting: report

BOULEVARD 22.01.2023

Police were at the scene of a shooting in southern California that has caused a number of casualties, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday, citing a law enforcement source.

Text size:

There were scant details, and no confirmation from police in Monterey Park, about eight miles (13 kilometres) east of downtown Los Angeles.

The area is home to a large number of ethnic Asians.

The Times said the incident happened some time after 10pm on Saturday in a spot near to where a Lunar New Year celebration had been held.

The paper reported that tens of thousands of people had gathered earlier in the day for the two-day festival, which is one of the largest in southern California.

AFP journalists at the scene said there was a large police presence, with areas taped off and helicopters overhead.
