More details emerge in Monterey Park shooting

Published

on

New information has come to light about the 10 people killed in Saturday’s mass shooting in California.

All victims killed in the Monterey Park shooting were celebrating Lunar New Year, aged 50 or older with two identified by the Coroner.

A gunman opened fire inside a dance studio, in the heart of Los Angeles’ Chinese community — killing 10 people and injuring 10 others.

The two identified are My Nhan and Lilan Li, both in their 60s.

Nhan’s family took to Twitter to share she had spent years going to the dance studio in Monterey Park on weekends.

“It’s what she loved to do,” the tweet said. “But unfairly, Saturday was her last dance.

“We are starting the Lunar New Year broken. We never imagined her life would end so suddenly.”

Her family described her warm smile and contagious kindness.

Three other women were killed – two in their 50s and one in her 60s.

Five men were killed, three in their 70s and two in their 60s.

Officials have not released the names of the remaining eight people killed in the attacks, waiting to notify their families.

A motive in the attack hasn’t yet been made clear, but the suspected gunman was found Sunday in a white van, and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The massacre was the nation’s fifth mass killing this month.

It is also the deadliest attack since May, when 21 people were killed in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna says gun violence needs to stop.

President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that requires TikTok to find a new owner—or face a ban in the United States.

Over the past several months, Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app.

Lawmakers and security experts have long raised concerns that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.

TikTok’s CEO said the bill is disappointing and reiterated that the company has committed to challenge it.

Threading the needle: Meta’s new platform finally dethrones X

Published

on

Threads, the social media platform owned by Meta, is gaining traction with a surge in daily active users, outpacing X in the U.S.

 

With Threads averaging 28 million daily active users compared to X’s 22 million, Meta’s ambitions to reach a billion users seem within reach despite a slowdown in growth. While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
