☆ California authorities see no link between dance hall shooter and victims
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-26 | by ( Brendan O'Brien | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

Jan 26 (Reuters) - Los Angeles-area investigators have found no connection between the victims of a mass shooting at a Monterey Park, California, dance hall and the elderly man who carried out the massacre last weekend, authorities said. On Monday, a gunman killed seven people at two mushroom farms in the coastal Northern California city of Half Moon Bay. Investigators did find a motorcycle registered to the suspect parked one block from the dance hall. After carrying out the shooting at the dance hall, Tran drove a short time later to a second dance hall in Alhambra, where that club's operator disarmed him before he could open fire. He purchased that gun in 1999 but it was not registered with the state of California, Luna said.

SAN GABRIEL, Calif. — The elderly gunman responsible for the dance hall massacre in Monterey Park was out of step with other Asian immigrants who found joy and companionship in venues like the Star Ballroom Dance Studio, former friends said. “His ex-wife also likes to dance, so, many times, they would bump into each other in the party or at events. I don’t think his ex-wife was the cause of his massacre.”Nevertheless, Tran often blamed his ex-wife for the demise of his trucking business. Records show that Tran registered a business called Tran’s Trucking in Monterey Park in 2002 and that it was dissolved two years later. He also recalled seeing a white van parked on the modest property, not unlike the one in which Tran died.

☆ Mass shooter's motive elusive as Monterey Park mourns 10 dead

About 20 minutes after the shooting in Monterey Park, he entered another dance club in the neighboring city of Alhambra. About 12 hours later, police officers in the city of Torrance, 20 miles southwest of Monterey Park, approached a white cargo van Tran was driving. As officers neared the van, they heard a single gun shot from inside when Tran killed himself. As news about the shooting spread, some in the tight-knit community of Monterey Park feared it was a hate crime targeting Asians.

(Photo by Sarah Reingewirtz/MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-News via Getty Images)The gunman behind the deadly dance hall shooting in the Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park may have been targeting his ex-wife on the Lunar New Year, the California city's mayor said Monday. A vigil will be held Tuesday in Monterey Park in memory of the dead. And about a dozen hours after the bloodshed in Monterey Park, police tracked Tran's white van to a car park 30 miles away in the suburb of Torrance where the suspect killed himself. "I tried to reach her, but I didn't get any response," Monterey Park resident Vivian King said of a friend she last heard from earlier in the weekend.

It is exceedingly rare for a person over 70 to carry out a mass shooting. Flowers are left near the scene of a shooting that took place during a Chinese Lunar New Year celebration, in Monterey Park, California, U.S. January 22, 2023. Police in Monterey Park had no prior interactions with Tran, Chief Scott Wiese said at a news conference on Monday. He lived in San Gabriel, near Monterey Park, from the early 1990s until around 2014, records show.

☆ Elon Musk has sold nearly $40 billion of Tesla stock in under 14 months. That figure dwarfs the automaker's profits and rivals its underlying value.

Elon Musk has disposed of almost $40 billion of Tesla stock in under 14 months. That figure vastly exceeds Tesla's $9 billion of net income in the nine months to September. Musk appears to have sold Tesla shares to cover tax bills, buy Twitter, and service debts. Bloomstran's remark underscores the massive scale of Musk's stock sales, relative to the size of Tesla's business. Since then, Tesla shares have more than halved in value.

☆ In California's conservative Little Saigon, a progressive unravelling among Vietnamese Americans switches up Orange County politics and raises the stakes for Republicans
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-07 | by ( Hanna Kang | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +15 min

The race in California's 45th House district has put a spotlight on its conservative Vietnamese American voter bloc in Little Saigon. Vietnamese American voters have long leaned conservative while the Asian American vote nationwide for decades trended Democratic. Westminster is the first city in the nation to have a Vietnamese American majority on the council, she added. "But what we've seen pretty clearly is that the Vietnamese community is home to diverse political perspectives." From a larger perspective, Joe said, Steel's strategy is short-sighted because it only reaches the immigrant Vietnamese conservative subgroup.

Oil could fall to $60 a barrel next year in the most bearish scenario, according to RBC. Sticky inflation and a Federal Reserve policy mistake could both slash crude prices, the bank said. Falling oil prices could also provide relief for Americans at the pump. RBC laid out two other economic scenarios that could impact oil prices next year.
