A survivor of the Monterey Park mass shooting described the harrowing scene after 10 people were killed on Saturday, and recounted how her dance partner shielded her with his body and died from gunshot wounds.

A gunman identified as 72-year-old Huu Can Tran opened fire at the Star Dance Studio on West Garvey Avenue in Monterey Park near the end of that day’s Lunar New Year celebration on Saturday, killing 10 people and injuring at least 10 more.
