'Nothing can kill our spirit': Monterey Park mass shooting survivors, community mark anniversary
Briefly

"I was fortunate," said Lao, a dance instructor at Star Ballroom Dance Studio, the site of the massacre. "I feel lucky I can live today. And tonight, I was dancing for the 11 people who left us that evening, with a heavy heart and deep sadness."
"While the shooting left a permanent mark on the mostly Asian enclave, the tragedy also has sparked discussions about mental health among Asian American and Pacific Islanders as well as created a lifelong bond among the 40 or so survivors. Some have channeled their trauma by advocating for gun control reform, while others have found strength in a return to dance."
