From the LA Times:

Ten people were killed and at least 10 others were injured when a gunman opened fire at a ballroom dance studio in Monterey Park on Saturday night, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said. 

The mass shooting, one of California’s worst in recent memory, happened in the 100 block of West Garvey Avenue at around 10:22 p.m., sheriff’s Capt. Andrew Meyer told reporters Sunday morning. The shooting occurred on Lunar New Year’s Eve, about seven miles east of downtown Los Angeles. 

There was scant information on the suspect: Male and still at large. There is no known motive, nor a description of the shooter.

From CNN :

Ten people were pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff’s captain said. 

“There were at least 10 other victims who were transported to numerous local hospitals and are listed in various conditions from stable to critical,” Meyer said. 

The assailant fled the scene and remains at large Sunday morning, Meyer said. 

“As far as motive goes, it’s too early in the investigation to know what the motive is,” Meyer said.
