CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION Police confirm: Nine dead after shooting in California

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - Nine people were killed in a mass shooting late Saturday in a city east of Los Angeles after a Lunar New Year celebration that attracted thousands, police said, reports AP.

Lieutenant Bob Boese of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the shooting occurred at a business on Garvey Avenue in Monterey Park. The attacker is a man, Boese said early Sunday.

Officials did not provide any information for several hours after dozens of police officers responded to reports of a shooting.

Monterey Park is a city of about 60,000 people with a large Asian population, located about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from downtown Los Angeles.

Seung Won Choi, owner of the Clam House seafood restaurant across the street from where the shooting occurred, told the Los Angeles Times that three people ran into his restaurant and told him to lock the doors.

He added that he believes the shooting happened at a dance club.
