Two mass shootings in California that killed 18 people this week could bring civil lawsuits, but legal experts predict some tough cases.
On Saturday night, a 72-year-old man shot 10 people and injured 10 others at a dance studio hours after a Lunar New Year festival in Monterey Park.

Authorities believe that incident is a matter of workplace violence.
