• Huu Can Tran, 72, is suspected of killing 10 people in a ballroom dance studio.
• He was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
• He was pronounced dead at the site.

Huu Can Tran, 72, who was subsequently discovered dead in a white van, has been named by California authorities.

As the shooter who is suspected of killing 10 people in a ballroom dance studio close to Los Angeles.

According to LA County Sheriff Robert Luna, he suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the site.

In Monterey Park, which is well-known for having a sizable Asian community, Lunar New Year celebrations had already begun.

The motive is still unknown to the police.

At a press conference held on Sunday in Monterey Park, the sheriff announced that ten more individuals had been injured in the shooting and that seven of them were still hospitalized, several of them in critical condition.

The 10 fatalities, he continued, were still being identified, but they appeared to be in their 50s and 60s, with some of them perhaps being older.

Five ladies and five men had been killed, officials had earlier stated, and they were all “presumably” of Asian ethnicity.

One of the bloodiest mass shootings in California history started at the well-known Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park, about seven miles (11 km) east of downtown Los Angeles, at approximately 22:22 local time on Saturday (06:22 GMT on Sunday).
