A 'wonderful suburban community' is how California Rep. Judy Chu describes Monterey Park, a city she represents east of Los Angeles, where a gunman opened fire Saturday night at a dance studio killing 11 and wounding nine more.
Monterey Park, CA - January 23:Congresswoman Judy Chu speaks during a community candlelight vigil at Monterey Park City Hall on Monday, Jan. 23, 2023, to honor the victims of the mass shooting at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio that left 11 people dead and nine others wounded. A “wonderful suburban community” is how California Rep.
Chu, a Democrat, shares a long history with Monterey Park, a city of around 60,000 people that’s about 65% Asian. She was elected to the city council in 1988 before serving three consecutive terms as mayor. In 2009, Chu was elected to represent California’s 28th Congressional District. “We need to bring the community together to make sure that these victims get the resources that they need,” she said. “Their lives have been totally disrupted and some of them that are in the hospitals are in very serious conditions. We need to make sure that they have the funds needed to pay for their medical care and for the loss of income during this time. And that they have the resources to get back into their lives.
“But never did I imagine that the mass shootings would come in such frequency and in such increasingly horrible circumstances, like with Uvalde, Buffalo, Club Q and now, my city,” she told Yahoo News. Later that day, the country would learn of another mass shooting in California, this time in Half Moon Bay further north.
