The suspect in a deadly mass shooting at a Southern California dance studio on Saturday night died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Sunday morning.
The motive for the attack, which left 10 people dead and at least 10 injured, is still under investigation, law enforcement officials said at a press briefing on Sunday evening.
The shooting took place outside Los Angeles in Monterey Park, California, a majority Asian American community once dubbed the “first suburban Chinatown”. Authorities said that after opening fire at one dance studio, the shooter appeared to have targeted a second dance venue in nearby Alhambra, California, another majority-Asian American town, where he fled after two people were able to take his gun away from him.
At Sunday’s press briefing, Sheriff Robert Luna and local politicians praised the heroism of the two community members who took away the suspect’s gun at that second scene, possibly preventing another tragedy. “This could have been much worse,” Luna said.
