President Joe Biden called 26-year-old Brandon Tsay to thank him for disarming the Monterey Park shooting suspect over the weekend.
Tsay can be seen in surveillance video wresting a firearm from the shooting suspect Huu Can Tran at a dance studio in Alhambra. Authorities say Tran had just opened fire at a Lunar New Year celebration at another dance studio in nearby Monterey Park, killing 11 people and injuring 10 others.
"I wanted to call to see how you're doing and thank you for taking such incredible action in the face of danger," Biden told Tsay. "I don't think you understand just how much you've done for so many people who are never going to even know you. But I want them to know more about you. ... You have my respect. You are America, pal. You are who we are -- no, no, you are who we are. America's never backed down, we've always stepped up, because of people like you.
The suspect, identified by authorities as Tran, was discovered by police late Sunday morning in Torrance, where he fatally shot himself as police approached his vehicle, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna . The president ordered the flags lowered to half-staff on federal grounds Monday as well -- a proclamation that would be extended when, just a day later, another gunman killed seven in Half Moon Bay.
