A 26yearold man, identified as Bradon Tsay, disarmed the Huu Can Tran suspected of killing 11 people at a dance school California, and prevented the massacre from getting bigger. A surveillance camera recorded the moment when the young man went after the shooter and managed to take the gun from his hand. The two even had a physical fight for about 20 seconds to dispute ownership of the gear, but at a certain point, Tran seems to give up and leave. The video was obtained from the American broadcaster ‘NBC News’. In conversation withnew york times’Tsay said she was in her office when she heard a noise in a studio and went to get it when she encountered a semiautomatic weapon pointed at her. “He looked at me and around and didn’t hide that he was trying to do something bad. His eyes were menacing. He was looking for people with his body language, his serious expression on his face.” Tsay was in the second dance school the shooter had targeted. He was unaware of the other attack, which had taken place in Monterey Park about 2 miles away. The California shooting raid that took place on Saturday the 21st left 11 dead, not counting the gunman who was found dead in a pickup truck. Filming took place after the Chinese New Year party in Monterey Park, home to 60,000 people, mostly of Asian descent, and where tens of thousands of people had gathered for the twoday festival.
