A dance studio in Alhambra, California, said on social media that it would be closing following the tragic mass shooting that occurred nearby in Monterey Park.
A gunman killed 10 people and injured at least 10 others in a shooting Saturday night, according to law enforcement. Using geolocation, a CNN analysis identified the location as Star Ballroom Dance Studio.
Lai Lai Ballroom and Studio, located in the neighboring city of Alhambra, posted on Instagram that it will be closed on Sunday and will cancel night classes until further notice.
The studio also noted that they will search all students and teachers before they can enter the building.
“In keeping with the tragedy at last night’s Star Dance, Lai Lai will be closed today. Tea and night dancing are suspended until further notice. Lai Lai will only reopen on Monday for school. To As an extra precaution, all students and teachers must follow a search before entering the studio. Our prayers go out to all the families of the victims.” Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio Inc posted to his Instagram story on Sunday morning.
It’s not clear if there’s any particular connection between the two studios, other than their locations about three miles apart.
Adjust: A previous version of this post incorrectly stated the studio where the mass shooting took place. It happened at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park, according to CNN analysis.
