Man describes wrestling gun away from California mass shooter
Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to California on Wednesday after the state was rocked by three mass shootings in as many days.
President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday that she would be making the trip to mourn the victims.
“The vice president’s going to be going out. I’ve been talking with Gavin Newsom and Judy Chu and Anna Eshoo and Hilda Solis, and we’re working out a number of things that we can and are going to be doing,” he said at a meeting with Democratic leadership.
Ms Harris is expected to visit Monterey Park where gunman Huu Can Tran, 72, killed 11 in a mass shooting at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio on Saturday night.
While the motive remains unclear, Hemet Police revealed that Tran visited the police department twice in early January claiming that his family had tried to poison him decades ago.
Less than 48 hours on from Saturday’s massacre, California was rocked by two more mass shootings on Monday – in Half Moon Bay and Oakland. At Half Moon Bay, a farm worker, 67, allegedly shot dead seven coworkers.
