Recent slayings moved California up five slots to 26th place on the number of fatal mass shootings per capita in the U.S. since 2006.

Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Monterey Park to meet with families of victims killed in the weekend shooting at a dance studio that left 11 people dead.In the wake of the worst massacre in Los Angeles County history, the California governor was meeting gunshot victims in the hospital when he was pulled away and briefed on a mass shooting at the other end of the state.

His voice brimming with anger and emotional at times, Newsom said he consulted notes he used at past mass shootings: the slaying of 12 at a Thousand Oaks country and western bar in 2018; the killing of three and wounding of 17 at the 2019 Gilroy Garlic Festival; the slaying of nine workers at a San Jose rail yard in 2021.

"Our hearts are with the people in California," President Joe Biden said Tuesday at a meeting with Democratic congressional leaders. "They've been a rough, rough couple of days." The recent slayings moved California up five slots to 26th place on the number of fatal mass shootings per capita in the U.S. since 2006, according to a USA TODAY/AP/Northeastern University mass killing database. The database only counts killings of at least four people.

Los Angeles Sheriff Robert Luna called the dance hall gunman, 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, a "mad man" and said investigators were looking into whether he had relationships with the people who were shot at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio. Hundreds of people turned out Tuesday evening for a candlelight vigil at the Monterey Park City Hall. Wooden hearts bore the names of victims. One woman helped her young daughter place flowers on the memorials. "There are so many," she said, her voice shaking. "We won't have enough."

The San Francisco Chronicle, however, reported that Zhao was accused 10 years ago of threatening to split a coworker's head open with a knife and separately tried to suffocate the man with a pillow, based on court documents.
