LOS ANGELES — A neon sign flashed "Open" at the Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio in Alhambra on Monday afternoon, less than two days after an attempted attack at the business by a man authorities say gunned down 11 people at a Monterey Park dance studio.
But the doors of the business remained locked to the public. The studio's parking lot was sparsely filled with employee vehicles and television news vans. Almost no evidence remained that a potentially violent event had occurred less than 48 hours earlier, except for a small patch of fence secured with yellow police tape.
"In observance of the tragedy at Star Dance last night, Lai Lai ... will reopen Monday for lessons only," the studio posted Sunday on Facebook. "As an extra precaution, all students and teachers are subject to search prior to entering the studio. Our prayers go out to the victims families."
