[LATIMES] Authorities have identified the man responsible for a deadly shooting inside a Monterey Park dance studio as 72-year-old Hemet resident Huu Can Tran.
Tran died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a strip mall parking lot near Sepulveda and Hawthorne boulevards in Torrance, law enforcement sources said.
"We still are not clear on the motive," Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said. "The investigation continues ... we want to know how something this awful can happen."
The manhunt began after the shooter opened fire inside Star Ballroom Dance Studio on West Garvey Avenue around 10:20 p.m. Saturday, killing 10 people and injuring 10 others. It was Lunar New Year’s Eve.
About 20 minutes after the shooting in Monterey Park, Tran walked into Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio in nearby Alhambra, officials said. "The suspect walked in there, probably with the intent to kill two more people," Luna said. "But two community members disarmed him, took possession of his weapon, and the suspect bravely ran away."
A pack, not a herd. Well done, guys!
At 10:20 a.m. Sunday, police located the white cargo van that was seen leaving the scene of the shooting, Luna said. When officers left their patrol vehicle to make contact with the occupant, they heard one gunshot come from the van.
At 1 p.m., a SWAT team determined that the suspect had a self-inflicted gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! at the scene. The man inside the van was Tran, the mass shooting suspect, authorities said.
During the search of the van, several pieces of evidence were found linking the suspect to both locations. A handgun inside the van, which had stolen license plates, authorities said.
"I can confirm that there are no outstanding suspects," Luna said.
The weapon taken by community members in Alhambra was a magazine-fed semiautomatic assault pistol, with an extended magazine attached, according to authorities. This particular firearm with an extended magazine is illegal to possess in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.
Oh dear me. How absolutely dreadful.
An advisory from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department identified the suspect as an adult Asian man, about 5 feet 10 inches and weighing 150 pounds. An image showed the man in a black leather jacket, beanie and glasses. Tran had been living at The Lakes at Hemet West, a trailer park whose sign billed it as "A 55+ Active Living Community," according to a public record and law enforcement sources. A security guard turned away a Times news hound at the front gate Sunday night.
A bit long in the tooth to go suddenly amok...
"I still have questions in my mind, which is, what was the motive for this shooter? Did he have a mental illness? Was he a domestic violence abuser? How did he get these guns, and was it through legal means? Well, those questions will have to be answered in the future," said U.S. Rep. Judy Chu during a Sunday night news conference.

Motive remains a mystery after suspected gunman in Lunar New Year mass shooting found dead

Gee, maybe the motive of "jealous rage" against wife and those around her mentioned in the headline is, in fact, the motive? Journalism has really hit yet another rock bottom.
[Breitbart] Those absorbing the slaps in Dana White’s Power Slap League are not the only ones left dazed and confused by the new sport. Bills star wide receiver Stefon Diggs can’t seem to make sense of what he’s watching either.
The Power Slap League, promoted by UFC President Dana White, premiered on Wednesday and showcased a particularly brutal episode where Sheena Bathory knocked out Kortney Olsen.
Diggs commented on the spectacle on his Instagram story.
“This some crazy sh-t right here,” he said. “They be out here smacking the sh-t out of each other.”
“What am I watching? I never watch TV anymore only Netflix and this what be on TV Jesus Christ,” Diggs wrote. “Is this a real sport?”
According to the New York Post, “The UFC-backed league featured individual matches between two opponents who alternate between ‘striker’ and ‘defender’ roles. A striker — determined by seeding or coin toss — has 30 seconds to wind up and deliver a slap, while the defender has 30 seconds to recover. Matches can go from 3-5 rounds, and a defender who is knocked down has a 10-count to get back on their feet and continue. If there is no knockout, judges score each round on a 10-point system.”
Is that a sport?
Everyone will have to decide that for themselves, but it certainly doesn’t require the training, skill, technique, savvy, or preparation time that normal combat sports do. Unfortunately, it also could be far more dangerous to participants than most things we consider to be sports.

The slap of the Ottoman Russian
That ended their latest discussion
Knocked Heinie a verst,
"But I got to slap first,"
Which appealed to the fair-playing Prussian.
[FOX] A new report surrounding the fatal car crash that took the lives of Georgia Bulldogs football player Devin Willock and staffer Chandler LeCroy shows footage taken outside a strip club early morning on Jan. 15 that adds some context to the tragic incident.

NN2N1 - From your time at the Red Roof Inn did you know Gary Harrell? A friend told me last week that he is rapidly slipping away from an inoperable brain tumor.
[Breitbart] A California man narrowly escaped death on the Pacific Coast Highway recently when his car was crushed under a boulder.
Moments after Mauricio Henao parked on the side of the road in Malibu, he got out to answer a phone call, Insider reported Sunday.
“I was in the driver’s seat, walked out, got a call, ran back inside, came out, and the car was just totaled. I ran out and saw my car just crushed,” he recalled.
A four-foot boulder was sitting on the crushed roof of the vehicle and Henao described it as being as big as the car’s hood. "There was a roadrunner, and a coyote,..."
[Daily Caller] Georgia Republican Rep. Rick Allen is introducing legislation to close loopholes exploited by Chinese military firms to access federal research grants.
Allen’s legislation would prohibit the National Science Foundation (NSF) from providing grants to any individual or entity affiliated with or related to a Chinese military company. The bill is known as the American Science First Act and seeks to prevent the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from exploiting research funded by U.S. taxpayers.
"The American Science First Act takes concrete steps to combat the CCP’s persistent efforts to steal American intellectual property and use it against us," Allen told the Daily Caller.

Because they're planning on illegal aliens as their future voters? Basic logic applied.
Planned Parenthood is for eugenics, cleaning out the undesirables by refusing to let them breed. Why do you think their clinics are located where they are?

Planned Parenthood turns tax payer dollars into cash for Democrats. Why do you think Dems support gender transitions? Because PP is the #1 provider of drugs and surgery for conversions.

Another "Great Pumpkin" perennial mythical story like "Republicans will defund NPR."
Underlining that there will be a lot of posturing over the next few years, because very few Republican-controlled House initiatives will make it through the Democrat-controlled Senate.

I hate to be the constant negative Nancy but GIVERnment budgets grow, freedoms are shrunk and taxes go up. There will be more funds for PP, NPR, FBI…. Next year than this year.

While I don’t doubt that COVID restrictions failed, unless the aircraft tested had documented tank sterilization I wouldn’t bet the ranch on this study. The airlines’ honey wagons only empty, not sterilize the tanks.
And just for fun, while you are waiting to board your next flight, watch the various servicing activities that take place. You might notice that some aircraft have the potable water service location behind the lavatory tank drain. Picture what a subsonic wind does to any spillage and its path. Never drink airplane water.
