AP, ORINDA, CaliforniaAirbnb’s chief executive said the company was taking actions against unauthorized parties in the wake of a deadly shooting at a Halloween party held at an Airbnb rental home in California. He also said the company is forming a “rapid response team” when complaints of unauthorized parties come in. The owner, Michael Wang, said his wife reached out to the renter on Thursday night after neighbors contacted them about the party. Three people, all from the Bay Area, died at the scene and a fourth died at the hospital, authorities initially said. Airbnb has banned the renter from its platform and the home has been removed as a listing, he said.
