Police trying to find out why 72-year-old gunman shot up LA dance hall; death toll rises to 11
Meanwhile, the death toll rose to 11 after health officials announced that one of the 10 people who were wounded had died.
My Nhan, 65, and Lilian Li, 63, were the first two women named. Two other women were in their 60s, and one was in her 50s. Three men were in their 70s, and two in their 60s were also killed. Hemet police had no records of any incidents involving Tran in the community or calls for service at his home, Reyes said.New Year celebrations sent a wave of fear through Asian American communities and cast a shadow over festivities nationwide.
“We do understand that he may have had a history of visiting this dance hall and perhaps the motivation has to do with some personal relationships. But that's something that I think investigators are still uncovering and investigating,” said Monterey Park Mayor Henry Lo. Public records show Tran once had addresses in the city and neighboring ones.
Within three minutes of receiving the call, officers arrived at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park, according to Monterey Park Police Chief Scott Wiese.“When they came into the parking lot, it was chaos,” Wiese said.
