The man suspected of slaughtering 11 people at a Los Angeles County dance hall Saturday night possessed hundreds of ammunition rounds and materials to create homemade gun suppressors—also known as silencers—at his home, authorities said Monday.
The disturbing details emerged after deputies searched the residence of 72-year-old Huu Can Tran on Monday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said. Despite the announcement, Luna said there was still no clear motive for the deadly rampage.
Monterey Park’s police chief, Scott Wiese, even went so far as to suggest Monday that Tran’s motive may never be fully revealed because he killed himself.
