MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (KABC) -- Ten people were killed and at least 10 others were wounded in a mass shooting at a dance studio in Monterey Park, setting off a search for the gunman, police said.

During a press conference Sunday morning, L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna described the suspect as an Asian male between 30 to 50 years old, based on preliminary information. A more detailed description was not available.

Luna said the suspect fled the scene and remains outstanding.

"We're serious about catching this suspect and bringing him to justice," Monterey Park Police Chief Scott Wiese said.

1. Now let's see if this dirtbag suicides himself

or does a suicide by cop rather than face justice.

[Dave Bowman]

31. I would prefer that this scumbag

spends the rest of his life in the worst prison they can find and that he lives for a very long time.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

34. I hear ya,

but unfortunately, most of these dirtbags are cowards who don't want to face the justice system.

[global1]

2. Glad To Know They're Serious....

It would be terrible - if they were half-hearted about catching the suspect and bringing him to justice.

I'm sorry - but that is just a stupid remark or quote for this Police Chief to make.

[Bootlace]

6. I agree but

I had coffee this morning with my nextdoor neighbor (recently retired cop from LA) and evidently the morale on the force in that area isn't the best. Most of the veteran cops just want to get their time in and retire.

[SledDriver]

28. This was my first thought as well!

I'm serious

[Haggard Celine]

32. I laughed when I read that.

"We're serious" about catching the killer.

[soldierant]

33. More sad than stupid, I would think.

I'm sorry, but it appears to me to reflect the gahalf-heartedness affecting law enforcement all over our country. No, not every force, and certainly not every officer, but way too many. Unless the perp is deemed darker than a brown paper bag.

3. Kick

[CountAllVotes]

5. A picture paints a thousand words

Thank you.

& recommend.

[KS Toronado]

8. Why the hell so many damn cops?

Wouldn't just one "good guy with a gun" be enough?

[DashOneBravo]

4. It's on CNN now

If anyone wants to check it out

[PatSeg]

7. So cable news was able to

break away from coverage of Biden and the classified documents to cover actual pressing news?

[DashOneBravo]

9. Exactly

I had it on in the kitchen but not watching full time.

I’d say probably 30 % on the truck .

[AngryOldDem]

10. I'm truly amazed.

Covering actual NEWS for once.

[PatSeg]

18. It is bound to happen eventually I suppose

[SledDriver]

29. If it bleeds, it leads.

[soldierant]

35. Glad I read down this far

before posting the exact same thing.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. I know that liked to kill them to do it

but it looked "bad" that 10 people were gunned down in a mass shooting, who were most likely predominately (if not all) Asian, and the media didn't care and essentially said "So? We have our (bogus) "documents" story and we're going to run with it because RW loon ratings".

[PatSeg]

17. Yes, they already had what they

were going to cover prepared and then a maniac has to go shooting up some place and knock them off script. We have so many television news sources these days, but somehow a lot less "news". It is mostly rehearsed commentary or entertainment.

I turn on cable news less and less and rarely ever on weekends. The first thing I read on DU this morning was a complaint about MSNBC covering the Biden documents story ad nauseum and if it hadn't been for the mass shooting in LA, that would have been all they would have talked about all day long.

I really like some political coverage and commentary, but it would be nice if they could squeeze in some news each hour.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. They have never been able to handle the 24/7 news cycle

which is why the old-school scheduled "traditional" news slots tended to force priority reporting whereas 24/7 results in repetitive rehashing and talking point commentary to fill those other hours (and when they tire of that, they end up going with "long form programming" ).

[PatSeg]

39. Exactly

It's not 24/7 news, it is news-ish with very little reporting and lots of "expert" commentary. I like a certain amount of commentary, but this has gotten ridiculous.

[markodochartaigh]

30. CNN is probably speculating on whether

there are more of President Biden's papers in the van. Fox is probably reporting that there are more of President Biden's papers in the van. And OANN is probably covering George Anthony DeVolder Santos' as he "talks to the killer live on TV" to get him to surrender.

[PatSeg]

40. Ha, ha, ha!

[ancianita]

12. It's live on MSNBC, too.

[ancianita]

11. Awesome. Thank you for the live coverage post!

[oldsoftie]

13. Take out the terrorist. Make a point.

POS doesnt deserve another breath of our air.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

15. +100.

[ancianita]

16. The sheriff reports that as of right now, they actually don't know if the car and person in it

are the actual car and suspect.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. They were playing part of the presser here on local news radio

and I checked in with this stream and saw Hilda Solis (a County Supervisor) come up to speak and was like, where do I know that name?????

Did a quick search and she was the Labor Secretary under Pres. Obama for his first term!!!

[maxsolomon]

20. My daughter told me it was a hate crime

and grew angry at my suggestion it could be asian-gang related.

looks like we're both wrong.

pointless pointless pointless stupid fucking guns stupid fucking amendment.

[ancianita]

21. I hope all this SWAT formation isn't for nothing.

So far, they've opened side and back of the van, but not brought anyone out. Doesn't look either threatening or productive right now.

Looks like a person slumped over the steering wheel.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

23. If, and I repeat if, the suspect is inside the van dead,

the police won't disturb the crime scene until the coroner releases the body for removal.

[ancianita]

24. Yep. They've got to first do whatever confirms the person as the suspect.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

26. +100. nt

25. CNN-4:04 pm eastern update.

snip-"A tactical team is searching the van in the Torrance standoff
A law enforcement tactical team has moved in and started searching a white cargo van that was involved in a standoff with officers in Torrance, California.

Aerial video from CNN affiliate KABC showed the team move in and break the passenger side window on the vehicle, then open the side doors and start searching the van.

Law enforcement sources earlier told CNN that the van is potentially linked to the Monterey Park mass shooting, and that officers heard what they believed was the sound of the driver shooting himself during a standoff that started after officers pulled the van over."

[calimary]

27. Yikes...

[LymphocyteLover]

36. standoff is over... suspect shot himself?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

38. If true,

this dirtbag is a fucking coward.
