A SWAT team surrounded a white cargo van believed to be connected to the Monterey Park mass shooting suspect. A helicopter was over the scene as two SWAT vehicles boxed in the vehicle in a Torrance parking lot.
A Monterey Park shooting left at least 10 people killed near 122 Garvey Ave amid a Lunar New Year celebration, Los Angeles County police said.Ten people were killed and at least 10 others were wounded in a mass shooting at a dance studio in Monterey Park, police said.
L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna said the suspect fled the scene and remains outstanding. A motive has not been determined. Tony Lai, 35, of Monterey Park was stunned when he came out for his early morning walk to learn that the noises he heard in the night were gunshots. When deputies arrived, people were running out of the dance hall, officials said during a news conference.
Police in the nearby city of Alhambra were investigating an incident, which also occurred at a dance studio, that might be connected to the shooting, Luna said. In the Alhambra incident, which occurred 17 minutes after the Monterey Park shooting, an Asian man entered the dance studio with a gun, and several people there wrestled the weapon away from him before he fled the scene.
In early alerts sent to Washington, investigators said "they had no idea who the suspect was," Pierre Thomas, ABC News' chief justice correspondent, said on ABC's "This Week."
