Monterey Park shooting: How to help the victims

Ten people were killed, and another 10 people were injured in a mass shooting after a Lunar New Year celebration in Monterey Park Saturday night. As of Sunday afternoon, no suspect is in custody

The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. Saturday at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio. In total, 10 people — five men and five women — were declared dead at the scene. Another 10 people were taken to local hospitals in various conditions. According to officials, the same suspect may have attempted to attack another dance studio in Alhambra as well, but no one was injured.

Though the attack happened in a majority Asian community, officials have said it's too early to classify this attack as a hate crime.
