A small plane crashed into a commercial building near Fullerton Municipal Airport, California, on Thursday afternoon. The crash resulted in two fatalities and left 18 others injured, including 10 hospitalized. 

California plane crash kills two, injures 18 near Fullerton Airport

The plane was a single-engine Van's RV-10, a small model with four seats, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, which has opened an investigation.

A small plane crashed into a commercial building in California on Thursday, killing at least two people and injuring 18 others, police said.
The crash took place early in the afternoon near Fullerton Municipal Airport, 25 miles (40 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. The cause remains unknown.
"There are two confirmed fatalities," Fullerton police said on X.

Additionally, 10 people were hospitalized and eight others were treated at the scene.
Investigators do not yet know if the deceased were plane passengers or if they were workers at the building where it crashed, a police officer told local station KTLA.
Television footage showed a gaping hole in the roof of the building, with smoke pouring out.
"All we hear is like a loud noise, boom, and that's it. Then we started running out" of the building, Jerome Cruz, one of the workers who witnessed the scene, told CBS News.
The plane was a single-engine Van's RV-10, a small model with four seats, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, which has opened an investigation.

Wildfire in Malibu destroys homes, sends thousands fleeing

A ferocious fire tore through Malibu on Tuesday, destroying at least seven homes in one of California's most desirable areas, and forcing thousands to evacuate.

A ferocious fire tore through Malibu on Tuesday, destroying at least seven homes in one of California's most desirable areas, and forcing thousands to evacuate.
Multimillion-dollar properties, some owned by Hollywood celebrities, were in the path of the blaze, which exploded late Monday, fanned by powerful winds and tinder-dry brush.
Firefighters were unable to get a foothold in the steep canyons that surround the tony enclave near Los Angeles, where towering flames were devouring hillsides, blanketing the air in choking smoke.
"We were completely surrounded," resident Alec Gellis told broadcaster KTLA.
"It was like 11 pm. We hear people screaming. I walk outside -- the sky is bright red.
"Within 45 minutes, it's coming down the hillside and then within an hour after that, we're fully surrounded, houses burning down on one side. Ridge is burning on the other side, mountains all around us.
"It got pretty scary at one point."
&nbsp;
- Door-to-door response -
Law enforcement officers have ordered thousands of people to leave their homes, with many more told to be ready to flee if conditions worsen.
"There are approximately 20,000 affected citizens under evacuation orders and evacuation warnings," said Captain Jennifer Seeto of Los Angeles County Sheriff.
"Fire can be extremely unpredictable, and we highly encourage residents in the fire areas to be prepared. Have a plan and heed our evacuation warnings and orders."
Deputies had gone door-to-door urging people to get out as the flames began to spread on Monday night.
Malibu Mayor Doug Stewart said the fire had been "traumatic," but vowed that the city and its people would not be defeated.
"That's the way it is here in Malibu. It burns, it comes back, and we're resilient and strong."
Actor Dick Van Dyke, who celebrates his 99th birthday on Friday, posted on Facebook that he and his wife had fled their Malibu home.
"Arlene and I have safely evacuated with our animals except for (a cat that) escaped as we were leaving. We're praying he'll be OK and that our community... &nbsp;will survive these terrible fires," he wrote.
The city, which sits a short drive from Hollywood's major studios, has been home to some of the biggest names in show business, with present and former residents including Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston and Cher.
&nbsp;
- Airdrops -
By Tuesday evening, the so-called Franklin Fire had swelled to more than 2,800 acres (1,150 hectares) and was still raging out of control, fanned by powerful seasonal winds that have led to forecasters hoisting a "red flag warning."
Los Angeles County fire chief Anthony Marrone said 1,500 firefighters were continuing to battle the flames, with the help of aircraft that were dumping thousands of gallons (litres) of water and retardant from the air.
Aerial reconnaissance showed an unconfirmed number of homes damaged and destroyed, he told reporters.
"The entire fire area remains under threat," he added.
Tens of thousands of people across southern California had their electricity cut off. Utilities frequently de-energize lines ahead of windy days to reduce the fire risk from downed power lines.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said the state had already secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assist with the response.
"Fire officials and first responders are working relentlessly to protect lives and property from the Franklin Fire," Newsom said in a statement.
Wildfires are a feature of life in California and other parts of the US West, and are often exacerbated at this time of year by Santa Ana winds, which blow dry desert air from the interior.
Human-caused climate change is known to increase the likelihood and the severity of fires, with evolving weather patterns leading to longer, hotter dry periods that desiccate vegetation.
Experts say decades of policies stressing a zero-tolerance approach to wildfires have also left much of the countryside overstocked with flammable material, so when blazes erupt they tend to be faster, hotter and more destructive.

Mysterious celestial lights streaked across the sky, stunning locals and onlookers in Southern California.&nbsp; The light show was reportedly seen from Sacramento to San Diego around 1:30 am on April 2, which left onlookers amazed as some of them shared their thoughts on social media and several captured it and shared on X. &nbsp; Some people claimed that it could be a meteor shower or UFOs passing by. However, experts reported that it was nothing but the remains of the Chinese Shenzhou 15 orbital module.&nbsp; &nbsp; But the fireball created by the fall of the module generated various speculations ranging from a possible meteor or comet to debris from the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that took off from Vandenberg Space Force Base Monday evening. &nbsp;

Footage released Friday shows Savannah crouching on the ground for several seconds before getting up and walking towards a group of police officers.

California police shoot teenage girl they were supposed to rescue | Watch

Footage released Friday shows Savannah crouching on the ground for several seconds before getting up and walking towards a group of police officers.

Newly released video shows US police shooting dead a kidnapped teenage girl they had been tasked with rescuing, in a chaotic incident on a busy California highway.
Savannah Graziano, 15, was gunned down as one deputy called her away from her gun-toting father, who had killed her mother a day earlier and abducted his daughter.
The episode unfolded in September 2022 when officers in San Bernardino County, east of Los Angeles, began chasing the vehicle Anthony Graziano was driving with Savannah in the passenger seat.
Footage filmed by a California Highway Patrol helicopter and released on Friday shows the pickup truck racing along at upwards of 110 miles (175 kilometres) an hour, with multiple shots fired at officers from inside Graziano's vehicle.
The chase ended after Graziano went the wrong way up a freeway entrance ramp and came to a halt on scrubland, surrounded by police vehicles.
Footage released Friday shows Savannah getting out of the car and walking towards an officer, who can be heard on another recording calling her over.
Radio traffic apparently from the helicopter warns officers that Savannah is there.
"The girl's out. The girl's out. Alright, girl's out, guys. The female... is out. She's out on the passenger side," a male voice says.
The footage shows Savannah crouching on the ground for several seconds before getting up and walking towards a group of police officers.
An apparent gunshot is heard on the video and Savannah is then blurred out as the voice on the radio says "Oh no."
Audio captured by a microphone worn by an officer on the ground records him calling Savannah over.
"Come to me! Come, come, come... walk, walk, walk," he says, as heavy gunfire rings out.
"Hey! Stop! Stop shooting her," he tells his colleagues. "He's in the car!"
Several shots can be heard after this utterance.
The narration on the video, which was released by San Bernardino County Sheriff Coroner, describes this moment.
"You can hear him calling her over and telling other deputies that the person who exited the truck was the passenger and for them to stop firing, but it was too late."
The teenager was declared dead in a local hospital.
Her father was pronounced dead at the scene. Multiple weapons and items of body armour were found in the pickup, along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition, police said.
The names of the officers involved have not been released.
The incident is being investigated by California's Department of Justice (DOJ).
San Bernardino Sheriff Shannon Dicus said Tuesday his department had been transparent in the aftermath of the incident.
"My hope is that this video will be watched in its entirety and provide insight into the unfortunate events that unfolded that day," he said.
"I would ask the public to allow the DOJ to complete its independent investigation before reaching a conclusion."
The video was released just weeks after deputies from the same sheriff's department shot dead a 15-year-old autistic boy who was having a mental health episode.
Both incidents have highlighted police use of force.
Violent encounters involving the public and police are not uncommon in the United States.
A tally by the Washington Post newspaper shows more than 1,100 people have been shot dead by officers nationwide in the last 12 months.
The figures are not official as police departments are not required to report incidents to the federal government.
Firearms claim tens of thousands of lives every year in the United States, a country where there are more guns than people.

At least four people, including suspect, were killed in a shooting at a biker bar in California's Orange County.

California biker bar shooting: At least 4 dead, including shooter

At least four people, including suspect, were killed in a shooting at a biker bar in California's Orange County.

California police said at least three people were killed by a shooter at a biker bar in the Orange County region. The suspected shooter was also killed in the incident.
Six people were taken to the hospital, out of which five had gunshot wounds. While it is unclear how the shooting unfolded, authorities said the crime scene was now static.
Heavy police presence and deployment of ambulances were noted in the area.
The shooting occurred after 7 p.m. at Cook&rsquo;s Corner in rural Trabuco Canyon in Orange County, a popular longtime watering hole for motorcycle riders and enthusiasts who gather for live music, open-mic nights or just a cold beer after a long ride.
Hours before the shooting, several patrons were stopping by Cook&rsquo;s Corner for an afternoon drink and meal. Rows of motorcycles and bikes framed the gravel entrance where plaques describe the storied history of the bar built in 1884.

A 5.1 earthquake hit southern California as residents hunkered down to shelter from an approaching storm.

Earthquake amid heavy rains as California braces for tropical storm Hilary

A 5.1 earthquake hit southern California as residents hunkered down to shelter from an approaching storm.

Heavy rains lashed California on Sunday as Tropical Storm Hilary raced in from Mexico, bringing warnings of potentially life-threatening flooding in the typically arid southwestern United States.
With people already on edge, nature struck in another scary way: a 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit near the southern California town of Ojai but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
As of Sunday afternoon Hilary's core was in California packing maximum sustained winds of 60 miles (95 kilometres) per hour, after barreling up Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said of this tropical weather event which was very rare for southern California. The storm was moving at the brisk pace of 23 mph (37 kph).
"Catastrophic and life-threatening flooding likely over Baja California and portions of the southwestern US through Monday," it warned.
"This is an unprecedented weather event," Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass warned.
Beaches were ordered closed and people rushed to stores to stock up on water and other essentials. Flash flood and even tornado warnings were issued for some areas.
Hilary earlier reached Category 4 -- the second-most powerful on the five-step Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale -- but was downgraded to a tropical storm as it headed towards the densely populated Mexican border city of Tijuana.
Despite the weakening, US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administrator Deanne Criswell urged people to take the dangers seriously.
"Hurricane Hilary is going to be a serious impact and threat to southern California," she said on CNN.
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for much of the state's southern area.
"Stay safe, California," he wrote on social media as Hilary approached.

Authorities opened five storm shelters and deployed more than 7,500 personnel, including several hundred National Guard soldiers as well as swiftwater rescue teams, Newsom's office said.
In San Diego, people filled sandbags to prepare for possible flooding, while lifeguards warned people to stay out of the sea.

&nbsp;

In a shocking incident, a California mother allegedly gave her 7-week-old baby alcohol to subdue the child&rsquo;s crying. Officials found the child in an intoxicated condition in Rialto City.
While authorities did not reveal the infant&rsquo;s health condition, the 37-year-old mother was held in the West Valley Detention Center on a $60,000 bond. She is reportedly due to appear in court this week.
The mother, later identified as Honesti De La Torre, was driving through Rialto after midnight on Saturday when she pulled over her car to fill her child&rsquo;s bottle with alcohol.
The child was found in an intoxicated condition, officials said.
She was then detained by law enforcement officers and charged with child endangerment, New York Post reported citing San Bernardino County Sheriff&rsquo;s Department.

State Senator Aisha Wahab, the first Muslim and Afghan American elected to the state legislature, introduced the bill on March 22. 

California could become first US state to outlaw caste discrimination

California may become the first state in the United States to outlaw caste-based bias. 

State Senator Aisha Wahab, the first Muslim and Afghan American elected to the state legislature, introduced the bill on March 22.&nbsp;

California may become the first state in the United States to outlaw caste-based bias, a safeguard people of South Asian descent say is necessary to protect them from discrimination in housing, education and the tech sector where they hold key roles.
State Sen. Aisha Wahab, the first Muslim and Afghan American elected to the state legislature, introduced the bill Wednesday. It adds caste &mdash; a division of people related to birth or descent &mdash; as a protected category in the state's anti-discrimination laws.
Those at the lowest strata of the caste system known as Dalits, have been increasingly calling for such legislation saying they have faced this kind of discrimination in the United States. But such policies remain divisive.
Wahab said caste discrimination is &ldquo;a social justice and civil rights issue.&rdquo; &ldquo;People came to this country so they can be free and can pursue their American dream without any disruption to their lives," Wahab said, adding that she heard about this form of discrimination growing up in Fremont, California, and living in the San Francisco Bay Area.
But some groups such as the Hindu American Foundation and the Coalition of Hindus of North America oppose such policies. They argue these measures will hurt a community that already faces hate and discrimination, and will specifically target Hindus and Indian Americans who are commonly associated with the caste system. The legislation is being backed by other groups such as Hindus for Human Rights and Hindus for Caste Equity.
A United Nations report in 2016 said at least 250 million people worldwide still face caste discrimination in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Pacific regions, as well as in various diaspora communities. Caste systems are found among Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jains, Muslims and Sikhs.

USA: fresh storm threatens to worsen flooding in California even as 'atmospheric river' moves eastward

The fresh storm is expected to affect areas from central California to Oregon and northern Nevada.

California's weather troubles continue as a fresh storm threatened to hit the US state on 13 March 2023.
Even as an atmospheric river that caused major flooding moved eastward, the National Weather Service warned that fresh rain and snow might exacerbate the severe flooding suffered in recent days. The fresh storm is expected to affect areas from central California to Oregon and northern Nevada.
Earlier, widespread evacuations were carried out from the central coast area. Across Monterey County, more than 8,500 people were evacuated Saturday, including roughly 1,700 residents &mdash; many of them Latino farmworkers &mdash; from the unincorporated community of Pajaro.
&ldquo;We are still in disaster response mode,&rdquo; said Monterey County spokesman Nicholas Pasculli on Sunday. He said the county is staging high water rescue teams around the county and opening more shelters in anticipation of more flooding.
Highway 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway, is closed at several points along Big Sur as well as near Pajaro due to flooding.

Silicon Valley Bank seized by US regulator as depositors pull cash

The bank failed after depositors &mdash; mostly technology workers and venture capital-backed companies &mdash; began withdrawing their money creating a run on the bank.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation seized the assets of Silicon Valley Bank on Friday, marking the largest bank failure since Washington Mutual during the height of the 2008 financial crisis.
The bank failed after depositors &mdash; mostly technology workers and venture capital-backed companies &mdash; began withdrawing their money creating a run on the bank.
Silicon Valley was heavily exposed to tech industry and there is little chance of contagion in the banking sector as there was in the months leading up to the Great Recession more than a decade ago. Major banks have sufficient capital to avoid a similar situation.
The FDIC ordered the closure of Silicon Valley Bank and immediately took position of all deposits at the bank Friday. The bank had USD 209 billion in assets and USD 175.4 billion in deposits as the time of failure, the FDIC said in a statement. It was unclear how much of deposits was above the USD 250,000 insurance limit at the moment.
Notably, the FDIC did not announce a buyer of Silicon Valley's assets, which is typically when there's an orderly wind down of a bank. The FDIC also seized the bank's assets in the middle of the business day, a sign of how dire the situation had become.

The post mentions that the bird was no less than a hoarder for collecting heaps of acorns and that no less than 8 garbage bags were needed to stash them.

Winter storm prompts cancellations of over 1,500 flights in US

Few places were untouched by the wild weather, some at the opposite extreme: long-standing record highs were broken in cities in the Midwest, mid-Atlantic and Southeast.

A brutal winter storm has knocked out power in California, closed interstate highways from Arizona to Wyoming and prompted more than 1,500 flight cancellations &mdash; and the worst won't be over for several days.
Few places were untouched by the wild weather, some at the opposite extreme: long-standing record highs were broken in cities in the Midwest, mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
The wintry mix was hitting hard in the northern tier of the nation, closing schools, offices, even shutting down the Minnesota Legislature. Travel was difficult. Weather contributed to more than 1,500 US flight cancellations on Wednesday, according to the tracking service FlightAware. More than 400 of those were due to arrive or depart from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Another 5,000-plus flights were delayed across the country.
At Denver International Airport, Taylor Dotson, her husband, Reggie, and their 4-year-old daughter, Raegan, faced a two-hour flight delay to Nashville on their way home to Belvidere, Tennessee.
They'd braved slick roads and arrived early in case of long lines at airport security but the weather delay proved unavoidable &mdash; and ironic: Reggie Dotson was in Denver to interview for a job as an airline pilot.
&ldquo;I think that's kind of funny that we've experienced these types of delays when that's what he's looking into getting into now as a career,&rdquo; Taylor Dotson said.
The roads were just as bad. &ldquo;A major winter storm and multi-day closures are likely on Interstates and secondary roads throughout Wyoming!&rdquo; the state Transportation Department said on Facebook.
It wasn't much better in neighboring states.
&ldquo;Sometimes it's physically impossible to keep up with Mother Nature,&rdquo; said North Dakota Highway Patrol Sgt. Wade Kadrmas.
He warned those who venture out to dress appropriately. Often, when motorists get stranded, &ldquo;They don't have a winter jacket. They might be wearing shorts and flip-flops, just thinking they're going to get from point A to point B and nothing is going to go wrong,&rdquo; he said.
Kelly Cross has spent his entire 60 years in South Dakota, but even he tires of the wintry weather that often spills well into spring. Besides the regular snow shoveling at his Pierre store, K&amp;C Western Wear, he's gone through pounds of salt to keep the walkway clear. The company of his terrier, Penny, makes the slog to work tolerable.
&ldquo;She comes with me every day,&rdquo; Cross said.
In the Pacific Northwest, high winds and heavy snow in the Cascade Mountains prevented search teams from reaching the bodies of three climbers killed in an avalanche on Washington's Colchuck Peak over the weekend. Two experts from the Northwest Avalanche Center were hiking to the scene Wednesday to determine if conditions might permit a recovery attempt later this week.
Powerful winds were the biggest problem in California, toppling trees and power lines. By Wednesday afternoon, more than 65,000 customers in the state were without electricity, according to PowerOutage.us.

A 1-year-old child was critically injured when a redwood crashed onto a home in Boulder Creek, a community in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of San Francisco, KTVU reported.
A blizzard warning was issued for the mountains of Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, effective from 4 am Thursday to 4 pm Saturday, the National Weather Service said.
&ldquo;Nearly the entire population of CA will be able to see snow from some vantage point later this week if they look in the right direction (i.e., toward the highest hills in vicinity),&rdquo; UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain tweeted.
A more than 200-mile (320-kilometer) stretch of Interstate 40 from central Arizona to the New Mexico line closed due to snow, ran and wind gusts of up to 80 mph (129 kph). Thousands were without power in Arizona.
In the northern US &mdash; a region accustomed to heavy snow &mdash; the snowfall could be historic. More than 20 inches (50.8 centimeters) may pile up in parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin, the National Weather Service said. According to the weather service, the biggest snow event on record in the Twin Cities was 28.4 inches (72 centimeters) from October 31 through November 3, 1991.
Temperatures could plunge as low as minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 29 degrees Celsius) Thursday and to minus 25 F (minus 32 C) Friday in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Wind chills may fall to minus 50 F (minus 46 C), said Nathan Rick, a meteorologist in Grand Forks.
Wind gusts may reach 50 mph (80 kph) in western and central Minnesota, resulting in &ldquo;significant blowing and drifting snow with whiteout conditions in open areas,&rdquo; the weather service said.
The storm will make its way toward the East Coast later this week. Places that don't get snow may get dangerous amounts of ice. Forecasters expect up to a half-inch (1.3 centimeters) of ice in parts of southern Michigan, northern Illinois and some eastern states.
The weather even prompted about 90 churches in western Michigan to cancel Ash Wednesday services, WZZM-TV reported.
The potential ice storm has power company officials on edge. Nearly 1,500 line workers are ready to be deployed if the ice causes outages, said Matt Paul, executive vice president of distribution operations for Detroit-based DTE Electric. He said a half-inch of ice could cause hundreds of thousands of outages.
A half-inch of ice covering a wire &ldquo;is the equivalent of having a baby grand piano on that single span of wire, so the weight is significant,&rdquo; Paul said.
Michigan power companies DTE Energy and Consumers Energy reported a combined 35,000 customers without service because of the storm Wednesday evening.
As the northern US deals with a winter blast, National Weather Service Meteorologist Richard Bann said some mid-Atlantic and Southeastern cities set new high temperature marks by several degrees.
The high in Lexington, Kentucky, reached 76 F (24 C), shattering the Feb. 22 mark of 70 F (21 C) set 101 years ago. Nashville, Tennessee, reached 78 F (26 C), topping the 1897 record by 4 degrees. Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Atlanta and Mobile, Alabama, were among many other places seeing record highs.
In Fargo, North Dakota, the Wednesday morning temperature was minus 11 F (minus 24 C), so server Michelle Wilson wasn't surprised by the small crowd at the Denny's where she works.
&ldquo;When the wind picks up and you're in a flat land like North Dakota, it's whiteout conditions immediately,&rdquo; Wilson said.

The name of United States's Powerball jackpot winner, who won a whopping $2.04 billion has been disclosed.
California's Edwin Castro who won the jackpot in November 2022 wanted to stay out of spotlight, according to a report by The Guardian. However, officials have now revealed his identity but his other details such as occupation, age, address have been kept confidential in line with his demands.
After Castro reportedly refused to appear for a press conference, officials published his namewhile reading a statement on his behalf in an event. The statement read, &ldquo;I am shocked and ecstatic to have won the Powerball drawing.&rdquo;
Castro's winning ticket matched all five winning numbers and the Powerball number when he bought the ticket at a store in Los Angeles last year.
He collected the winning amount as lump sum of over $997.6m instead of choosing to collect the full prize in the form of annuity of over 29 years.
Castro is a former student of the California public school system, which receives charitable funds from the Powerball lottery. Castro said he was grateful that his win will help him contribute to the school system that once benefitted him.

Of the seven people who were shot, four were standing outside. The three who were killed were in a vehicle: Police

At least three people were killed and four others were wounded in a shooting in California area early on Saturday morning.
Sgt. Frank Preciado of the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the shooting happened just after 2:30 am in Beverly Crest, an upscale Los Angeles neighbourhood.
Of the seven people who were shot, four were standing outside. The three who were killed were in a vehicle.
Their identities were not released. Those who were injured were taken to a hospital and are in critical condition.
Preciado said he did not have information on what led up to the shooting, or if it occurred at a residence.
This is the fourth mass shooting in California this month.
The shooting comes a week after a massacre at a dance hall in a Los Angeles suburb left 11 dead and nine wounded and only days after a gunman opened fire on a pair of mushroom farms south of San Francisco on Monday, fatally shooting seven people and wounding one.
The killings have dealt a blow to the state, which has some of the nation's toughest firearm laws and lowest rates of gun deaths.
For the third straight year, the US in 2022 recorded over 600 mass shootings in which at least four people were killed or injured, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

Four of the victims were killed at a mushroom farm, and three at a trucking firm on the outskirts of Half Moon Bay.

A suspect was in custody, police were quoted as saying.
The shooting followed the killing of 11 people late Saturday at a ballroom dance hall in Southern California.
&ldquo;We are sickened by today's tragedy in Half Moon Bay," Dave Pine, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, said in a statement. &ldquo;We have not even had time to grieve for those lost in the terrible shooting in Monterey Park. Gun violence must stop.&rdquo;
Meanwhile, in Iowa state's capital Des Moines, a shooting incident occurred at a youth outreach centre on 23 January. At least 2 students died, while a teacher was seriously injured.

USA: Los Angeles shooter commits suicide after van surrounded by police, says Sheriff

The shooting sent a wave of fear through Asian American communities in the Los Angeles area.

A day after a deadly shooting at a dance club in California, police said that the suspect committed suicide.
Police said on 22 January 2023 that the 72-year-old suspect named Huu Can Tran shot himself when officers surrounded a van that he used to flee the scene of a second attempted shooting.
Los Angeles county sheriff Robert Luna said that no other suspects were at large.
At least 10 people died and 10 were wounded after the gunman opened fire at a ballroom dance studio on 21 January during Lunar New Year celebrations.
The shooting sent a wave of fear through Asian American communities in the Los Angeles area and cast a shadow over Lunar New Year festivities around the country.
Other cities sent extra officers to watch over the celebrations.
Luna said the shooting at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park left five women and five men dead and wounded another 10 people. Then 20 to 30 minutes later, a man with a gun entered the Lai Lai Ballroom in nearby Alhambra.
