The man, Huu Can Tran, 72, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a white van in Torrance as officers closed in, Luna said.

When law enforcement searched the van they recovered “several pieces of evidence” that linked the suspect to both the Monterey Park scene and a second scene in neighbouring Alhambra, Luna said.

A handgun was also found in the van, he said.

Luna said two community members disarmed the suspect at a dance hall in Alhambra. He described the community members as heroes and said they saved lives.

He said the weapon recovered at the Alhambra dance hall was a “semi-automatic assault pistol” with an extended large-capacity magazine attached.

Officials continue to investigate the motive.
