Search for suspects continues in California ‘massacre’ that killed six

The Facts
The Los Angeles, California Sheriff's Dept. on Sunday identified Huu Can Tran as the suspected gunman in Saturday's Monterey Park shooting. He allegedly killed ten people celebrating the Lunar New Year at a ballroom dance studio.
The mass shooting, which occurred in the evening on Lunar New Year's Eve, also injured at least ten others whom authorities say are being treated in local hospitals — their conditions reportedly range from stable to critical.
The Spin
Left narrative
This shooting was yet another senseless act of gun violence that tragically disrupted a cultural celebration in America. No matter who the victims or the perpetrators are, these constant tragedies need to come to an end so Americans of all backgrounds can feel safe in their communities.
Right narrative
The classic anti-white and anti-gun talking points were on full display when news of this shooting first broke — the only problem is that the suspect is an Asian man and the weapon he reportedly used was a pistol. This story will probably fade from the headlines in the coming days, as the mainstream media realizes it can no longer use it to moralize about "assault rifles " or "white supremacy."
