Los Angeles Mayor Calls for Action Against Gun Violence After Beverly Crest Mass Shooting
On Saturday, a mass shooting in an affluent Los Angeles neighborhood left three dead and several injured. The Beverly Crest shooting is the sixth mass shooting in California this month alone and comes on the heels of the gruesome shooting at a ballroom in suburban Los Angeles last week that left 11 dead and nine injured.
Regarding the incident at Beverly Crest, Sgt. Bruce Borihanh said:
“We are still interviewing additional occupants, as well as witnesses and neighbors, to try to piece together exactly what happened here. Investigators are also going door-to-door looking for additional surveillance video, or any evidence that might help us.”
In a tweet about the Beverly Crest shooting, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said:
“This is the 11th mass shooting in the United States and the fourth in California this week. THIS. WEEK. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.”
The shooting at the expensive cul-de-sac comes a week after Huu Can Tran, 72, opened fire on a largely Asian crowd at a dance hall in Monterey Park. He reportedly killed ten people and wounded ten others in a mass shooting during the Lunar New Year festival celebration, then drove to another ballroom to continue his rampage. However, he was stopped by a community member and no one was injured in this latest incident.
On the same day, Chunli Zhao, a “disgruntled worker” elder, killed seven of his co-workers and wounded another in shootings at a pair of day care centers in the northern California city of Half Moon Bay.
