Emgage condemns Monterey Park shooting
WASHINGTON, DC: Emgage strongly condemns the mass shooting in Monterey Park, California, yesterday night.
The shooting, during which 10 people were killed and 10 wounded, took place following a Lunar New Year celebration.
“This is a tragic situation that has shaken communities throughout the country,” said Wa’el Alzayat, Emgage CEO. “The fact that this is the fifth mass killing in one month is reprehensible. Action is needed now — this cannot continue. The entire Emgage family will be thinking of the victims and their families and loved ones through this tragic time.”
Emgage will continue to monitor the situation closely as it evolves.
