Monterey Park mass shooting suspect dead from apparent self-inflicted wound

Law enforcement officials swarmed and entered a white van Sunday afternoon that officials suspect was driven by a suspected gunman who opened fire on a Southern California ballroom dance studio, killing 10 people and wounding 10 more.

Police surrounded the van with tactical vehicles and bomb squad trucks for hours before going in. A person's body appeared to be slumped over the wheel, but authorities did not immediately identify the person in the van. FOX 11 reports that the body found had gunshot wounds. It's unclear if they were self-inflicted.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna later confirmed that the driver was the suspected gunman and identified him as 72-year old as Huu Can Tran, an Asian male. Luna said Tran died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Luna previously released photos of an Asian man who was believed to be the suspect, but he did not release the man's name.

Im in spain and have not seen word one about this. Then i look at the shooter and its very apparent why theyre being so silent.

[_Negra_Arroyo_Lane]

They said he was 30-50. That's pretty shoddy police work.

[canukdown]

Asian man??? lets see how they spin this one

[brave]

Hu Can Tran - sounds like he is Vietnamese!

[theJoefamilychannel]

Just like the movies, the suspect dies...

[dannypol]

What kind, brand of weapon and caliber does the suspect used for shooting if the pistol and/or other weapons are found? Just not sufficient information, although the shooting motive is still unclear. Not that convincing report.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” That witticism—I'll call it “Einstein Insanity”

[shadowx]

[richardb]

How is the media going to blame this on Trump ?

[Infoulnessyeshallknowthem]

Reading skills for the police department please.

[jalenjose]

Did he took his life or the militazied police shot and killed him.

[Blend-]

What about the victims? Nobody’s giving their names, just the evil criminal who did this horrible thing.

[dungnguyen-vxsc]

The person who die in car was not actually the perpetrattoor of the shooting .the shototing in Monterey Par is a proffesioonal assassin with good name in the Asia Commmuniities in. Californnia .with havve sproter from Congressman of California

He didn't have to kill himself. Being Asian all they had to do was let him drive around a little more and he would have crashed.
