Members of the nation’s Asian American community say the incident has revived the fears and trauma brought on by a wave of hate incidents and tragedies that have struck the community over the last few years.
A preliminary description of the shooter said he was an Asian man between the ages of 30 and 50, police said.
"We have not had enough time and space to heal from all the collective trauma and loss our communities have gone through," said Chang, president of the Asian American Christian Collaborative."Incidents like these add to the unprocessed pain and trauma that has piled up over the years.
“The city expresses condolences to the individuals, families and friends who were injured in this tragic incident,” a statement on the city’s website read. Stop AAPI Hate has received more than 11,000 reports of anti-AAPI hate incidents since it began tracking such data in March 2020, Kulkarni said.
