According to reports, a gunman has been found dead after attacking a dance studio in Monterey Park, California. The suspect was reportedly identified by witnesses as 21-year-old Kourtney Brown. Kourtney is reported to have fatally shot two people and injured another before turning the gun on himself. The attack took place just after 7 PM local time on Monday evening.
Kourtney is said to have entered the studio armed with a gun and knives, demanding money from the staff. When no money was forthcoming, he is reported to have begun shooting randomly at those inside. He then made his way towards the back of the building, where he began stabbing people indiscriminately. It is believed that he killed one person and seriously injured another before taking his own life.
This latest attack comes just one month after 39-year-old Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured 13 others in a shooting spree in Isla Vista, California. In both cases, there is speculation that mental health problems may have played a role in the attacks.
