WATCH LIVE: Police give update on the Monterey Park mass shooting that killed 10 people in Southern California.
In addition to the armored police vehicles, the van was surrounded by numerous police officers, including SWAT members, many with their guns drawn and trained on the van.The standoff in Torrance came as the sheriff's department released surveillance images of the homicide suspect, saying he was wearing a beanie cap and glasses and is about 5-foot-10 and 150 pounds.
"We don't know that this was a hate crime as described by law," Luna said. "Who walks into a dance hall and guns down 20 people?" A Lunar New Year celebration was underway nearby, but the shooting did not happen at the festival, authorities said. The motive is not yet known, and it was unclear if the suspect knew the victims. The injured victims were rushed to area hospitals and were in various conditions from stable to critical.
"Jill and I are praying for those killed and injured in last night's deadly mass shooting in Monterey Park. I'm monitoring this situation closely as it develops, and urge the community to follow guidance from local officials and law enforcement in the hours ahead," Biden said in a statement.
