Reply to comment by Wand_Cloak_Stone in After Monterey Park shooting, gunman targeted Alhambra dance studio, sources say by 5xad0w

I mean, I don’t see why a random guy would wrestle a gun from a shooter and then just sail off into the sunset in his white van, so I’d assume that was the shooter

I wondered if it was a family member or something, since everyone at the second studio said they didn’t even know anything happened. So did he drive to another town to another dance studio just to steal a car and bounce?

Edit: this article suggests the gun was wrestled from him before he could do anything, so he ran away. Which makes more sense, I was just confused because everyone at the second studio denied knowing anything happened and they put a note on the door saying they closed only out of respect for the first dance studio.

>About 20 minutes after the shooting in Monterey Park, an armed suspect walked into Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio in nearby Alhambra, but “some individuals wrestled the firearm from him, and that individual took off,” Luna said.

How does a 72 year old just run off? If they take the gun away from the gunman, why did they let this old guy shuffle off?

Probably shock/fear. I mean we have to consider the likely age of the people there. I doubt a senior is going to want to chase a guy down the street who just tried to shoot up a dance hall. He could be armed with a secondary firearm, knife, etc. Unless this guy is willing to shoot the man himself why would he risk it?

So after they shuffle the gun from him, how does he shoot himself in the van later if he had lost his gun already?

My dude, mass shootings are a fucking daily event here. This our fucking life.

How sheltered do you have to be to assume an American mass shooter just had one fucking gun? When he was tooling around in a fucking van?

Because I'm not an American? For the rest of the world, having a gun is not a daily way of life. Also why are you so pissed just because I don't know. You should see a psychologist.
