The 72-year-old Asian immigrant who killed 11 people before shooting himself as police moved in on him was once a regular at the California dance club where a tragic gun massacre unfolded.
Huu Can Tran used a semi-automatic pistol to spray 42 bullets around the Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park, an Asian-majority city near Los Angeles.
Tran, whose name is typically Vietnamese, immigrated to the United States from China, according to a marriage certificate his ex-wife showed CNN. She said Tran, who sometimes worked as a truck driver, was not violent, but could be impatient, especially if he felt he was being shown up, for example by her messing up a dance step.A man who said he had known Tran well in the late 2000s and early 2010s told the broadcaster he had been a regular at the dance studio at the time.
Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department searched his residence there in the Lakes at Hemet West mobile home park, which bills itself as a "55+ active living community.""He would stop to pet your dog, and everyone around here thought he was just some quiet little guy," Pat Roth told broadcaster KTLA.Police in Hemet said they had contact with Tran this month.
