WATCH LIVE: Monterey Park mass shooting update following standoff with possible suspect in Torrance -- READ MORE
MONTEREY PARK, Calif. — Law enforcement officials swarmed and entered a white van Sunday afternoon that officials suspect was driven by a gunman who opened fire on a Southern California ballroom dance studio, killing 10 people and wounding 10 more.
The van was found in Torrance, another community home to many Asian Americans, about 22 miles from that second location. “We believe there is a person inside of that vehicle. We don’t know their condition, but we’re going to handle that in safest manner that we possibly can and try and identify that person. Could it be our suspect? Possibly," Luna said.Members of a SWAT team entered the van a short time later and looked through its contents before walking away. It was unclear what they found.
Monterey Park is a city of about 60,000 people on the eastern edge of Los Angeles and is composed mostly of Asian immigrants from China or first-generation Asian Americans. The shooting happened in the heart of its downtown where red lanterns decorated the streets for the Lunar New Year festivities. A police car was parked near a large banner that proclaimed “Happy Year of the Rabbit!”
