events that are around the community and there are so many lunier new year events going on who wonder whether they should send their kids to school even and even as much as i said that they should continue doing that, i could feel the fear in their voices. so it is with great relief that we can tell them this shooter is no longer a threat and that they can feel safe and that they can do the things they would normally do during this lunier new year period supposed to be the highlight of the year. we talked about the last time you and i saw each other in person was likely when you came to visit atlanta after the spa shootings there. now, we re talking about two very different scenarios because the motives can be very, very different here but can you speak to the impact of the asian-american pacific islander community across this country when we first hear about a shooting in a predominantly asian neighborhood, everyone s mind this morning went to the same place. yes. the se
