residents are dismayed by the violence that broke out at this ballroom dance studio . during lunar new year celebrations. i cannot believe it. i'm stunned and shocked that this could happen here in our peaceful community. this is a community where my kids cook art lessons. we come down here for food all the time . we see elders walking around all the time in a safe neighborhood for them to walk around and have community, historic, taiwanese, the chinese community. so to see this happen in this place, the shattering it just feels very gloomy. it, i'm pretty sure all our hearts are heavy and i am very happy to see the community come together. it was the 1st time celebrations for the lunar new year

have been allowed in public since the pandemic authorities have set up a crisis center for those affected by the shooting journalist jason compa donia john just now from los angeles. jason, you've been following events there closely. what exactly happened? so what we know now is that thousands of people were celebrating the chinese new year and monterey park, which is about 10 to 15 minutes. east of downtown l. a. and a gunman walked into a ball room in the city of monterey park and open fire, killing 10, and shooting another 10 of the victims of 5 men. 5 women were dead that gunman than last and went to another dance hall near by in the neighboring city. of l hamburrow and tried to open fire there, but 2 bystanders were able to wrestle the gun away from him. and then the shooter

disappeared. and he then later showed up in a white panel van in the city of torrents, which is about 30 miles south of los angeles during a routine traffic stop and ended up taking up his own life. and what i've just been told is that law enforcement is now found his home in hammet california, which is about 80 miles south east of downtown ally. and they've served a search warrant there and are going through his home. tell us more about the victims jason. i understand they were celebrating the start of the lunar new year. that's right. and what we understand is that the average age of the people that go to these dance halls are these ball rooms is about 65 years old. and authority say that the victims range in age between $50.70 plus. we know, like i said, 5 men, 5 women are dead and 10 others were rushed to nearby hospitals. but what we now

know is that on the 7 remain in the hospital, their conditions range from stable to critical. so yet another mass shooting in the us can we expect further calls for gun control in the wake of this one, jason. and it's already happening. good, california governor gavin newsome has put out a tweet saying that national gun reform is needed on a national level. and it was just a few days ago that the u. s. president joe biden said that he wants to ban assault style weapons in the united states. so that ball has was already on a roll, and this will just a fuel about fire for a lot of people looking for gun reform. jason, thank you very much. that was journalist jason camp antonia in l. a. now germany's foreign minister online about bach says berlin would not object to

poland, sending german made leopard to battle tanks to ukraine. keith has long requested the tanks to strengthen its defences against a renewed russian assault defense experts. see the modern labor 2 tanks is essential for ukraine, but despite desperate appeals from keith, germany has so far held back from supplying them and even blocked other allies. from doing so. 3rd, countries need berlin's approval to export the tanks, but poland has indicated it's prepared to send them even if there is no agreement with germany. well, this comes as german chancellor. olive schultz was pressed on the issue following talks with friends, president manuel nicole in paris. the 2 met to market 60 years since the landmark eli se treaty paved the way for france and germany post war alliance, a hug, and a handshake for 60 years of peaceful co operation. the alizae treaty was signed to

bacon and other research has concluded that this must have been an ancient calendar . according to the research, as it was used to record sophisticated information about the animals, the horse with 3 dots, for example, would mean these animals made 3 lunar faces. after the beginning of spring in memory, they will have records of effectively all the animals in the area are all the major animals. so they have a fairly good idea. what animals are at their cage when they're, they're what they're doing. generally, the week when they come, and generally when they need does quite precise as they contract. maybe 10 or 12 different praise feed scenes in their area very, very accurately. in the hostile environment where people migrated with the animals, this information could make
