Ten people were killed and at least 10 others wounded in a shooting at a Los Angeles-area ballroom dance club following a Lunar New Year celebration on Saturday night.

Sheriff’s Deputy Trina Meyer said officers responded to the scene in the city of Monterey Park at around 10:30 p.m. and found people “pouring out of the location screaming.” Meyer said the 10 people died at the scene and officers then went into the dance ballroom as firefighters treated the wounded.
