Authorities found a body in a white van believed to be connected to the Monterey Park, California, massacre that left 10 people dead.
Hours after a gunman turned a California ballroom into a shooting gallery —killing 10 people and wounding 10 others late Saturday—police discovered a body in a van believed to be connected to the escaped suspect.
The nation’s latest mass shooting happened inside the Star Dance Studio around 10:22 p.m. PT in Monterey Park, California, less than an hour after a Lunar New Year festival in the city ended. At a news conference Sunday morning, Luna gave a “preliminary description” of the suspect: an Asian male between the ages of 30 and 50. He did not disclose information on a potential motive, saying it’s too early to rule out a hate crime and “anything’s a possibility.”
Roughly 20 minutes after the shooting at the Star Dance Studio, an Asian man walked into a second dance studio in nearby Alhambra with a firearm, but individuals there were able to wrestle the gun away from him, Luna said. Cops now believe the two incidents are “connected,” but the sheriff could not confirm it “100 percent.”
“As an extra precaution, All students and teachers are subject to search prior to entering the studio,”Earlier on Sunday, law enforcement ensured the community that it would be devoting all its resources to the investigation.
