Biden previously called Tsay last week and thanked him for “incredible action in the face of danger.”
Cheers of “Thank you Brandon” rang out for Brandon Tsay a week after the 26-year-old quickly disarmed gunman Huu Can Tran inside Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio after Tran had already killed 11 people and injured more at nearby dance club Star Dance Studio.
Tsay will also be a guest of President Biden during his State of the Union address scheduled for Feb. 7, according to reports. Biden previously called Tsay last week and thanked him for “such incredible action in the face of danger.” “Most of the victims I knew personally. They would always come by the dance studio, and I consider them friends. They were some of the most caring people I’ve ever met, and for them to be taken from us is such an excruciating experience,” he said, according to the newspaper.
