The shooting at a Monterey Park dance hall could have been 'much worse' if it hadn't been for the two people who disarmed the gunman at a later scene in Alhambra, LA County Sheriff Robert Luna said.
Investigators were able to recover a gun from the Alhambra dance hall. Luna described the weapon as a "magazine-fed, semi-automatic assault pistol."
Tran was able to escape after the attempted shooting in Alhambra. Sunday morning, officials in Torrance found a white van that matched the description of the suspect's vehicle near Sepulveda and Hawthorne boulevards. The driver then pulled into a shopping mall parking lot and a SWAT team was called to the scene. Luna said that just before 1 p.m., officers approached the vehicle and found Tran, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside. Another hand gun was recovered in the van.
The Lai Lai dance hall was celebrating its 29th anniversary Saturday night, as Asian communities were celebrating the Lunar New Year. In the wake of the attack, the ballroom closed Sunday, and has indefinitely suspended the venue's tea and night dances. The facility has said it will reopen to lessons only starting Monday, but that as a precaution, all students and instructors will be searched before entering the studio.
