‘I think it’s gonna be a long period of both mourning and grieving together and a long road to recovery,’ said Councilmember Thomas Wong.
Two days after 42 shots were fired in a Monterey Park dance center, the grieving city awaits more details. Why were the lives of 11 elders — including My Nhan, 65, and Lilan Li, 64, both identified by authorities Monday — suddenly, brutally taken?
“While I was sitting there it really hit me,” he said. “The fact that its so joyous to have something that is really important to us — the Lunar New Year, the first meal of the year — with my mother. I realize for the families of those victims they well never ever have that experience again.” Wong added: “And this is something that I think will will shape what our community looks like and what it is for years and years to come. hoping with my other leaders in the city and in our region to bring the community together to like find healing and to have some of that space to be able to talk to each other and to talk about what our needs are.”
