Freelance news organization RMG News reported it happened apparently during a Lunar New Year celebration of the “Year of the Rabbit” downtown at a business at 122 W. Garvey Ave., near the intersection of Garvey and Garfield avenues.
A broadcast report said thousands of people had been attending the event. Later, police and emergency medical personnel were on scene as Monterey Park police investigated. Witnesses remained gathered at the scene late Saturday and roads in the area were closed.
It wasn’t immediately known how many people may have been struck by gunfire. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department homicide detectives were sent to the scene to assist.
The shooting occurred about 10:20 p.m., sheriff’s Deputy M. McClendon said.
It occurred about an hour after a city Lunar New Year festival in the area had ended.
“It is an isolated incident,” McClendon said. No suspect information was available.
Police are attending the scene of a shooting with multiple casualties in Monterey Park, California, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The number of casualties, exact location and time of the alleged shooting have not yet been confirmed by Monterey Park Police Department.
Journalist Christina Pascucci wrote on Twitter that the police department had confirmed to her that a "mass shooting occurred." Newsweek has contacted Monterey Park PD for comment.

Do FBI agents work with state, local, or other law enforcement officers on “task forces”?
Absolutely, and we consider it central to our success today. Task forces have proven to be a highly effective way for the FBI and federal, state, and local law enforcement to join together to address specific crime problems and national security threats. In law enforcement, “concurrent jurisdiction” may exist, where a crime may be a local, state, and federal violation all at the same time. Task forces typically focus on terrorism, organized crime, narcotics, gangs, bank robberies, kidnapping, and motor vehicle theft.
