Chicago police said they’ll beef up security for Lunar New Year celebrations in the city after 10 people were killed during a shooting at a Los Angeles-area ballroom dance club over the weekend.
According to the Chicago Police Department, command staff officials, alderpeople, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and representative from other city departments spoke with leaders in the city’s Asian American Pacific Islander community Sunday night to discuss the Monterey Park, Cal., shooting.
While the first day of the Lunar New Year was Sunday, celebrations last 15 days and there are multiple events scheduled across Chicago, including parades and concerts. The massacre was the nation’s fifth mass killing this month, and it struck one of California's largest celebrations of a holiday observed in many Asian cultures, dealing another blow to a community that has been the target of high-profile violence in recent years.
