Weeks after the gunman behind the Monterey Park mass shooting showed up at the Lai Lai Ballroom in Alhambra moments after he had just killed 11 people, the staff at the dance studio took a big step on its journey to healing.
The family-owned studio has been an Alhambra treasure for 30 years where people can dance and spend time with friends."This studio has stood through a lot of ups and downs and we're not going to let this person stop us from dancing," said Brenda Tsay, Brandon's sister. "My brother ... he did something very amazing and I think everyone here and everyone actually in the nation knows that," said Brenda.
There was an emotional moment when he asked Brandon to stand. The 26-year-old received a loud standing ovation.
