Mourners stopped by a public memorial in Koreatown to honor the people killed in the tragic crowd surge in South Korea.
"Something like this, where the community can come, grieve [and] mourn," said mourner Robert Park."I think that's very necessary."
Rev. Daniel Yoo, who immigrated to the United States more than 50 years ago, said his heart is with people in South Korea's capital."Even though I am an American citizen, I was born in South Korea," said Yoo."So, when I found out about the tragedy I remember I pretty much stayed home and prayed for the victims."
