Officials with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department identified several of the Monterey Park mass shooting victims. Suspect's motive is still unknown.
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.
"Something came over me. I realized I needed to get the weapon away from him, I needed to take this weapon, disarm him or else everybody would have died," Tsay said. "When I got the courage, I lunged at him with both my hands, grabbed the weapon and we had a struggle." While Luna told reporters on Sunday that two people wrested the weapon away from the attacker, Tsay, who works a few days a week at the dance hall his grandparents started, told The New York Times that he acted alone. Stills from security footage shown on "Good Morning America" showed only the two men struggling for the gun.After surrounding the vehicle for hours, law enforcement officials swarmed and entered it.
"What was the motive for this shooter?" she said. "Did he have a mental illness? Was he a domestic violence abuser? How did he get these guns and was it through legal means or not?" "The reason I haven't done all the damn press conferences yesterday , I was here the whole day. It's I can't do those again. I can't keep doing the same the same thing over and over again. I mean, it's insane," he added.
