Sabrina Yap, 53, of Duarte said she understands that people may be frightened to be in public after the mass killing Saturday, Jan. 21, at a Monterey Park dance hall. She was there, not long before the shooting. Yap said her booth  — Aroma Breeze, which sells such Hawaiian wares as bags and scarves — enjoyed brisk sales at the Lunar New Year festival a block away from the Star Ballroom Dance Studio.  She closed up early two hours before the massacre, driving by to see people dancing inside Star Ballroom Dance Studio.
