He wrestled the assault weapon from 72-year-old Huu Can Tran
Brandon Tsay, whose family owns Lai Lai Ballroom and Studio in Alhambra, wrestled the assault weapon from 72-year-old Huu Can Tran
The man who disarmed the gunman who had just shot and killed at least 10 people Saturday night in Monterey Park and injured several others was hit in the face and bashed on the head several times in a life-or-death struggle to wrestle the weapon away from the assailant.
“My first thought was I was going to die here, this is it,” Brandon Tsay told Good Morning America on Monday.
Tsay’s family runs the Lai Lai Ballroom and Studio in Alhambra. which was hosting a Lunar New Year celebration on Saturday night. Toward the end of the event, the 26-year-old says he heard the unexpected sound of the studio’s door opening. He then saw a man with a gun walk inside, who has now been identified by law enforcement as 72-year-old Huu Can Tran. He arrived at the Lai Lai Ballroom about 20 minutes after he’d fatally shot 10 people during a rampage at Star Dance Studio in nearby Monterey Park.

The mandate comes in response to the flag’s divisive symbolism, as some say it represents support for law enforcement while others argue it’s become a symbol of white supremacy and far-right ideology.
Moore has also prohibited any use of the thin blue line flag on officer uniforms in any form or as bumper stickers on vehicles.
However, any non-public property like an officer’s personal workspace or personal vehicle will still be allowed to display the flag.
Moore's statement:
“Earlier this week there was a member of the public that complained of a ‘Thin Blue Line Flag’ being displayed over the front desk of Rampart Station.
The complaint stems from their belief the symbol signifies support of extremist views such as those espoused by the Proud Boys and others. I directed to have the item taken down from the public lobby.
While I do not personally view the ‘Thin Blue Line Flag’ in the same manner as the community member and others, its display in our public lobbies can be divisive.
It’s unfortunate that extremist groups have hijacked the use of the ‘Thin Blue Line Flag’ to symbolize their undemocratic, racist, and bigoted views. Flags serve as powerful symbols with specific meanings.
The ‘Thin Blue Line Flag’ to me presents the honor, valor, dedication, and sacrifice of law enforcement to protect our communities. Tragically, that view is not universally held & others have been able to persuade the public it symbolizes racist, bigoted and oppressive values.
Given our lobbies should be places that people feel safe, free of political ideology, and welcoming, it remains our long-standing policy that only official items be displayed.
I understand the frustration some may feel on this issue with an accompanying sense of a lack of support of their dedication on my part. I’m mindful of the Los Angeles Police Protective League’s (LAPPL) expressed disappointment in my directive.
My commitment to you is unwavering as I strive each day to protect and serve you as well as the people of Los Angeles.”
The worst bloodbath in Los Angeles since 2008, a horrific act on what should have been a Lunar New Year celebration that left at least ten and as many as a dozens others wounded, was an act of domestic violence committed by angry gunman “looking for his wife,” a law enforcement source told LA Magazine.
“There is increasing evidence this was domestic violence,” the source said.
The bespectacled man who carried out one of the deadliest mass shootings in LA County history is believed to have taken his own life Sunday morning while on the run from the mass shooting at Star Dance Studio, a popular ballroom on West Garvey Avenue, which had been slated to host a neighborhood block party in honor of the Lunar New Year.
Massive manhunt continues for gunman who opened fire in a ball room where revelers were celebrating Lunar New Year, leaving 10 dead and 10 wounded.

An attorney for rapper T.I. and his wife, Tiny Harris, greeted an Orange County federal jury this week with the proclamation: “It’s high time you meet the OMG Girlz.”
Trial lawyer David Scheper showed up to court ready to deliver. Over the next 40 minutes, he told the eight jurors how Tiny and her daughter, Zonnique Pullins, built the girls’ music group “from literally a mom and daughter shop in 2009 into a national sensation, just a few years later,” only to have their likeness stolen by corporate toy designers, who profited tremendously.
Scheper displayed photos of Zonnique and her friends, Bahja Rodriguez and Breeuna Womack, as the OMG Girlz, alongside dolls with matching hair and outfits and played music videos on courtroom TV screens, and described a 2017 reunion he said clearly inspired MGA Entertainment to start the line of dolls. The company’s toy, called the OMG Dolls, debuted under two years later.

Rebecca Grossman was back in a Los Angeles courtroom on January 10, where a hearing over the socialite’s looming trial on murder charges for allegedly running over and killing 11-year-old Mark Iskander and his 8-year-old brother, Jacob Iskander, in September 2020 ended with a judge rescheduling the postponed proceedings for May.
In the gallery that Tuesday morning, a showdown brewing between the two sides in the crowded courtroom later spilled into the hallway outside, where a bailiff had to separate the two sides from congregating together in front of the public elevator at the Van Nuys courthouse.
It has been two years and four months since Grossman was arrested for the hit-and-run deaths of the two young brothers in Westlake Village. The long wait in the murder case has dragged on for over two years as multiple delays—from the Covid-19 court backlog, attempts to get a state appeals court to drop second-degree murder charges against Grossman, to the sudden death in 2022 of her lead defense attorney, Richard Hutton—are only arousing further ire in the community.

The years-long failure of Los Angeles politicians to address the homeless crisis was made stark to residents of Sherman Oaks, the affluent San Fernando Valley city of roughly 70,000, as the bodies of three unhoused people were discovered on its streets in just one week.
A woman believed to be between the ages of 50 to 60 was found dead in the shopping center off of the intersection of Moorpark Street and Sylmar Avenue on Wednesday, and the corpses of two men, one in his 60s and one in his 40s, were also found in the area this week, the L.A. County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office confirmed to LAMag. The woman and the man in his 60s both died of natural causes, while the third person’s cause of death is unknown.

From the instant the story broke, the José Huizar bribery and corruption scandal has been full of bombshells that detonate unpredictably and with a City Hall-shaking force. So it’s only fitting that what may be the last major development—the embattled former District 14 councilman has agreed to plead guilty to racketeering and tax evasion, and is likely facing a sentence of nine to 13 years—also burst on Thursday with not a word of advance notice.
“I understand the terms of this agreement, and I voluntarily agree to those terms,” Huizar states on the 24-page document signed and dated Jan. 18. He soon adds, “I am pleading guilty because I am guilty of the charges and wish to take advantage of the promises set forth in this agreement, and not for any other reason.”

Alec Baldwin and an armorer working on the troubled New Mexico set of the western film Rust will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the accidental shooting death of Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
The Emmy-winning actor, a father of 7, and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer who was responsible for weapons on the set, will each be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, which could send each to prison for up to 18 months, New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced on Thursday morning.
“After a thorough review of the evidence and the laws of the state of New Mexico, I have determined that there is sufficient evidence to file criminal charges against Alec Baldwin and other members of the ‘Rust’ film crew,” Carmack-Altwies said. “On my watch, no one is above the law, and everyone deserves justice.”

Tim McOsker spent much of 2022 doing what most people would consider a real grind. As a candidate for the 15th District City Council seat, he attended copious community meetings, backyard get-togethers, and neighborhood coffee meetings where he would detail his political vision and outline his platform and priorities—again and again. The simple goal was to persuade District 15’s voters to choose him, one resident at a time.
But that was just the start. He also paraded before a bevy of bodies seeking endorsements. Perhaps most grueling were the hours on the phone, asking friends and associates to contribute money toward his quest to replace Joe Buscaino, who after two terms was giving up the seat that represents Watts, San Pedro, Wilmington, and other neighborhoods.
