Investigators collected bullet casings from the scene of one of California's bloodiest mass shootings as they sought clues to what drove an elderly gunman to open fire in a dance hall he had frequented, killing 11 people
from the scene of one of California's bloodiest mass shootings as they sought clues on Monday to what drove an elderly gunman to open fire in a dance hall he had frequented, killing 11 people, before taking his own life.
Authorities said he drove to another dance hall where a second, would-be attack was thwarted and later shot himself to death in his parked getaway vehicle as police closed in to make an arrest on Sunday, ending an intense manhunt some 12 hours after the rampage. About 20 minutes after the attack, Tran barged into a second dance club, the Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio in the neighboring community of Alhambra, where an employee wrestled away the intruder's semi-automatic assault-style pistol before any shots could be fired, officials said.
"That moment, it was primal instinct," Tsay recounted in a New York Times interview, saying that the gunman fled the scene after a 90-second struggle. "Something happened there. I don’t know what came over me."
