Police officials are facing scrutiny over how long it took them to notify the public that the Monterey Park mass shooting gunman was still on the loose.
Search warrants at the home of Huu Can Tran uncovered weapons, ammunition and items that led officials to suspect he was manufacturing firearm suppressors.
Frank, who oversaw counter-terrorism and tactical operations at LAPD, said in this case, “if there is a reason for delay, I cannot think of one.” Travis Norton, who runs the After Action Review Team for the California Assn. of Tactical Officers, said the five-hour wait time was surprising, but without having all the facts of the case, it is hard to say why the Sheriff’s Department might not have notified the public.
“These are rapidly unfolding events, even after the shooting stops. Dealing with multiple victims, crime scene processing, large number of witnesses, an active manhunt and all the other factors and dynamics at play make these events highly complex,” he said. Law enforcement sources also believe Tran was having unspecified emotional problems that had been getting worse in the weeks before the shooting.portrait of the gunman, a lonely, embittered manBefore Tran moved to Hemet, he lived for many years in a small white stucco home in San Gabriel with bars over the doors and windows and an orange tree in the front yard.
