Brandon Tsay said he was unaware that just 20 minutes earlier, the gunman had killed 10 people and injured several others when he opened fire in a crowded ballroom in nearby Monterey Park.
The first 10 victims in the massacre in Monterey Park after a Lunar New Year festival were in their 50s, 60s or 70s, according to the L.A. County coroner. An identification has not been shared for the latest victim.“I’m very proud,” Tsay said. “That night was a tragedy. It could have been much worse if he wasn’t disarmed.”
Just a few people were still dancing and socializing when Tran came in. Many of them were longtime customers who visit the studio, she said. “Obviously, I started to ask questions,” she said. “He said, ‘Don’t ask questions. Just go through and look through the thing.’”“Once I saw what happened, my stomach turned,” Brenda Tsay said. “I was so upset, so angry to be honest. I felt a little guilty because I wasn’t there.”A gunman opened fire at a Monterey Park dance studio late Saturday, killing 10 people and wounding 10. He went to another dance studio in Alhambra but was disarmed by two people and later killed himself in Torrance.
