Police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, are searching for at least one suspect involved in a nightclub shooting that left a dozen people injured, according to L’Jean McKneely, Baton Rouge Police Department spokesperson.
Police are categorizing the shooting as a “targeted attack.”
“This was not just a random act of someone showing up and randomly shooting citizens of Baton Rouge,” said Lt. Bryan Ballard, commander of BRPD’s Homicide Division, during a press conference Sunday.
At the Alhambra ballroom, Tran walked in with a firearm and some individuals wrestled the firearm away, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said.
A surveillance image obtained by Eyewitness News shows the moment a man inside the Lai Lai Ballroom confronted the suspect and disarmed him.
Tran then fled the scene. Witnesses reported seeing a white cargo van in the area. Later in the day Sunday, a SWAT team surrounded a white van in a Torrance parking lot that was believed to be linked to the same suspect.
Nobody was injured in Alhambra and investigators cleared the scene by 7 a.m.
EXCLUSIVE: "I realized I needed to get the weapon away from him, disarm him, or else everyone else would have died."
