Here's what we know about 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, the gunman in the Monterey Park shooting.
So who was Tran? Here's what we know so far:Friends and acquaintances describe him as a quiet man who didn't get along well with many people and was quick to anger. But they also could not recall him ever getting physically violent.
He was a regular at Star Ballroom Dance Studio, where the shooting occurred. He also frequented the Lai Lai Ballroom and Studio in Alhambra, where he showed up after the Monterey Park shooting. At the Alhambra studio, a man wrestled a gun away from Tran when he walked through the door and he fled with no injuries. Investigators were able to track the semi-automatic weapon left behind in Alhambra to help get the suspect's name, sources told CNN. Records indicate Tran worked as a professional trucker for at least 20 years, for a brief time running his own trucking company. He served as CEO of a business based in San Gabriel called Tran's Trucking, Inc. But it didn't stay in business long. Records indicate the business was formed in 2002 but dissolved in 2004. Tran's former wife, who asked not to be named, told CNN she met him about 20 years ago at Star Ballroom. Tran introduced himself at a dance and offered her free lessons. They married soon after that. She said Tran had a short temper, though he was not violent. If she made a mistake dancing, he would get upset because he thought it made him look bad, she recalled.
