L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna disclosed that the Monterey Park gunman had sent a "manifesto" to law enforcement, but he declined to say what it contained.The gunman who opened fire during a Lunar New Year celebration in Monterey Park in January, killing 11 people and injuring nine others, sent a "manifesto" to law enforcement, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Friday.

Luna did not detail what the writings contained, but said it was being reviewed by the FBI. A motive for the attack remains unknown. "The manifesto that we received from this individual was sent to our partners at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They're still analyzing it to try and figure out what happened, why it happened," Luna said. "I don't know if we'll ever have a motive, but we continue to try."

Luna made the remarks during an event marking six months since the attack. Rep. Judy Chu, who represents the district that includes Monterey Park, also announced a legislative package in coordination with New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, to try to reduce gun violence through red flag laws.
