On January 21, 2023, tragedy hit Monterey Park, California after a shooter entered a well-liked dance club.
Ten individuals were killed in the shooting before the culprit, Huu Can Tran, shot himself to death the following morning.
Less than 24 hours after the incident in Monterey Park, Huu Can Tran, 72, was named as the suspect by law authorities.
According to the Los Angeles Times, he allegedly opened fire on a throng inside Star Dance Studio at around 10.20 p.m., killing 10 people and injured another 10.
The shooter allegedly tried to reopen fire at a different club, but heroic onlookers stopped the attack.
He allegedly fled but stopped in a hospital to have his injuries examined before departing without receiving medical attention.
According to reports, the man was apprehended after Torrance police recognised his white van.
Tran reportedly turned into a parking lot as they attempted to pull him over, and as the cops tried to approach the car, Tran reportedly shot himself to death.
Robert Luna, the sheriff of Los Angeles County, revealed Tran’s identify during a press conference, but he withheld his motivation.
When the police approached Tran, Luna revealed that he had committed suicide.
“I still have questions in my mind, which is: What was the motive for this shooter? Did he have a mental illness? Was he a domestic violence abuser? How did he gets these guns and was it through legal means or not?” Congresswoman Judy Chu said.
Information about Tran’s private life has not yet been made public.
