TPolice confirm gunman involved in Lunar New Year shooting in Los Angeles.
After a SWAT operation by the Office of Special Enforcement ended in a standoff in Torrance, California, the SEB announced that the gunman behind the wheel of the cargo van had fatally shot himself. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna had previously reported that the Lunar New Year shooter was also armed and dangerous. A vehicle of interest at the scene matches the description of the van involved in the confrontation.
This shooter killed 10 people and injured 10 others at a ballroom dance club in the Los Angeles area. As a result, it became the fifth mass shooting in the US this month and the deadliest since 21 people were killed at a school in Uvalde, Texas, according to The Associated Press/USA Today homicide database en masse in the US.
