Local hero Brandon Tsay hosts dance to celebrate Asian American Heritage Month

Brandon Tsay, the man who disarmed the mass shooter who killed 11 people and injured 9 others in Monterey Park, hosted a dance Saturday in honor of Asian American Heritage Month. 

The event, put on by Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California, was held at the Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio in Monterey Park where the tragedy happened on January 21. 

Tsay's presence at the community dance Saturday served as a testament to the resilience and strength of the local Asian American community, highlighting the importance of unity and solidarity.
