1. Summary
   The suspected gunman of a mass shooting in Monterey Park, California was found dead in a white van after officers surrounded the vehicle. The suspect, a 72-year-old Asian man, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police found a handgun in the van, which had stolen license plates. Police have said they do not yet have a motive for the shooting.
   
   The shooting occurred in a dance studio at Monterey Park on the eve of Lunar New Year, near where tens of thousands of people were gathering to celebrate a Lunar New Year festival, and resulted in 10 deaths and 10 injuries.
   
   About 20 minutes after that shooting, the suspect walked into a different dance studio in the nearby city of Alhambra "probably with the intent to kill two more people," according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. However, two people in the building disarmed him and he fled. The gun seized by the Alhambra residents was a semiautomatic pistol with an extended magazine attached, which is illegal to possess in California.
