The suspected gunman who killed 10 people and wounded 10 others in a mass shooting at a Lunar New Year event in Monterey Park, Calif. is dead, police said
Sunday, asking for help identifying an Asian male, and noted that he should be considered “armed and dangerous.”The shooting happened about 10:20 p.m. Saturday just one block from where thousands of people had gathered earlier for Monterey Park’s Lunar New Year festival. The city of about 60,000 people about nine miles east of downtown Los Angeles is about 66% Asian American, with about half of that population being of Chinese origin.
The victims have not yet been identified and no other information has been released. Luna said the victims are in their 50s and 60s—and some may be older.

A SWAT team later confirmed that the suspect inside had killed himself. Police also found evidence in the van linking the man to the shooting in Monterey Park Saturday night. Thousands of guests had already gathered at the event on Saturday, which was set to last until 9 p.m.
