MONTEREY PARK, Calif. — Eric Ching didn’t know anyone who had been hurt in Saturday night’s mass shooting at a Monterey Park dance studio, but he made his way to a local senior center Sunday morning to see whether there was anything he could do to help.
The city, which has for decades been a gateway for Chinese immigration, has always been a quiet community, he said, where he “could go out at 12 a.m. and literally feel safe.”
“But now that’s just kind of been shattered,” Ching said.
