California officials name two of those killed, while friends and colleagues say much-loved ‘Mr Ma’ was among dead
The weapon confiscated was a “a 9mm caliber semi automatic Mac 10 assault weapon”, with unspecified modifications, Luna said. The sheriff previously said the weapon was likely illegal under California law, but noted on Monday that the legality of specific weapons, weapon modifications and ammunition types has changed over time.
Tran’s ex-wife said she had met him while dancing at the Star Ballroom two decades ago, and that he had offered her dance lessons, CNN reported. The news outlet said it was not naming his ex-wife because of the sensitivity of the incident, and that the couple had divorced in 2005. In early January this year, the shooter made two visits to the lobby of the police department in Hemet, California, where he lived, “alleging past fraud, theft, and poisoning allegations involving his family in the Los Angeles area 10 to 20 years ago”, the department said in a statement.
Relatives of My Nhan, one of the women killed at Star Ballroom, said on social media that they were “broken” by her death.by Dallas-based WFAA reporter Tiffany Liou, who said the tragedy had struck “close to home” and that her husband’s family was “hurting beyond measure”. Liou said Nhan was the first of the victims shot and killed.
The statement, signed by “the Nhan and Quan family”, concludes with an expression of gratitude for people’s thoughts and prayers, and the support of neighbors and community.Photograph: Caroline Brehman/EPA
