Police have now confirmed that the suspected gunman is dead after killing at least 10 people near Los Angeles in one of California’s deadliest mass shootings.
Another 10 people were wounded and some are in a critical condition.
The shooting in Monterey Park, which has a large Asian population, happened shortly after thousands of people had gathered for a Lunar New Year festival.
The gunman opened fire on a busy dance studio in the downtown area of the city.
Victims were treated both inside the Star Ballroom Dance Studio and in the car park outside, police said.
Police say he shot and killed himself inside the white van that aerial footage showed pinned between three armored vehicles, called Bearcats. END
