US van stand-off ends as police hunt Chinese New Year mass shooter

CALIFORNIA police hunting the gunman who killed 10 people at a dance club during Chinese New Year celebrations broke into a van after a lengthy stand-off yesterday, where images showed a body slumped in the driver’s seat.

The hunt began 12 hours earlier after a man – described by police as Asian – began firing at a club in Monterey Park, a city in Los Angeles County with a large Asian community.
