Police have located a white van they believe is connected to the gunman who opened fire at a ballroom dance studio in Monterey Park on Saturday night, killing 10 people and injuring 10 others.
Multiple police cars surrounded the vehicle in Torrance on Sunday morning and shots were fired, law enforcement sources told The Times. It was not known who was in the vehicle or whether there were any injuries.
About 20 minutes after the shooting, a “male Asian suspect” with a firearm walked into another dance hall in the neighboring suburb of Alhambra, Luna said. “Some individuals wrestled the firearm from him, and that individual took off,” he said.
Officials are still working to determine whether there is a connection between the two incidents.

This is just the beginning.
Many police vehicles are at the scene, and two Bearcat armored vehicles have the van pinned. A standoff so far. Reports are more police are on the way. This could take a while.

He’s likely dead but the police are concerned the van could be booby trapped. The bomb squad just showed up.
He looks like one of those Garden gnomes
There is a bullet hole in the driver’s window and someone is slumped over the steering wheel. Per KCAL9.
Most of the photographs I have seen show older Asian people (not young people or usual “nightclub” crowd) and the suspect appears to be older as well.
Like always, the left will run with their gun control shtick if the politics of division do not apply or (or they cannot say hate crime as if killing 10 people is not hateful) but that is to be expected.
Prayers for the victims and their families. Horrible.
Torrance?
It never rains in Torrance.
But when it pours, man it pours.
Fawning live coverage on KABC.
Funny how the enemedia all of a sudden loves the fuzz.
Leftist Congress critter Judy Chu attempted to politicize it but stopped short when the Channel 11 reporter reminded her the weapon was not an assault rifle, as per the sheriff.
When I was a kid, someone remarked during a hard rain that it was raining in torrents. I thought he was talking about a nearby LA suburb.
-"“I hope we can make a determination as to whether this was a hate crime,” Rep. Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park) said, describing the Lunar New Year as a time to celebrate with family. “This tore a hole through all of our hearts.”"
He’s no spring chicken.

Where do they find these freaks to do the sign language?
Ballroom dance - Chinese 40+ (like all of my wife's friends) are addicted to it.
I watched part of the new conference when the new sheriff got to the bleeding heart woke crap I cut the stream. Went back to football
