The United States has long struggled with dramatic levels of gun violence. On January 21, a man opened fire on the sidelines of a Chinese New Year celebration in Monterey Park, California, killing 11 people. Shortly thereafter, seven people were killed in gunfire at two crime scenes in Half Moon Bay in northern California. There have also been gun deaths in other US states, including Utah and Iowa, since the beginning of the year.
