Brandon Tsay wrestled the gun away from a man who killed at least 11 people in Monterey Park, California.
Mourners gather at Star Ballroom Dance Studio, the site where a gunman killed 11 people after a Lunar New Year's Eve celebration.Huu Can Tran, 72, was a truck driver, a divorcee and an immigrant who moved to Texas then California. Then on Saturday, with a barrage of ammunition, he became the oldest mass shooting suspect in U.S. history, as this Asian American community gathered to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Officers also found"an unknown amount" of .308 and 9mm caliber ammunition in various containers that were being counted, Luna said. Luna said detectives were looking into reports of possible relationships between the suspect and individuals at the dance hall, but could not confirm any relations yet. But so far, Luna said there is no evidence any victim is related to the suspect.
Earlier this year, he repeatedly visited a police station in Hemet, where he had recently moved to a small home inside a retirement community — about 75 miles east of his former San Gabriel Valley community and their dance halls. Hemet Police Department spokesman Alan Reyes said Tran claimed he had been poisoned by his family members in Los Angeles County over the last several decades. Tran told police he would return to the station with evidence of the alleged crimes but never did, Reyes said.
