SWAT team reaches suspect white van involved in standoff connected to LA mass shooting

A man found dead after a police standoff in Torrance was the Monterey Park shooting suspect, the Los Angeles County sheriff has confirmed.

Robert Luna told reporters that officers found the man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a standoff.

Mr Luna said police found "several pieces of evidence" that links the suspect to both the mass shooting in Monterey Park that left 10 dead and 10 others injured, and a separate situation in the neighbouring city of Alhambra in which the gunman was disarmed by bystanders and then fled in a white van.

The evidence includes a handgun which may be illegal in California.

Mr Luna identified the suspect as Huu Can Tran, 72. A picture has been released of the suspect.

Meanwhile, of the 10 people injured, seven remained hospitalised Sunday night, with at least one person in critical condition.
