“I can confirm that there are no other suspects” in the massacre, Mr. Luna said, adding that the motive for the attack in Monterey Park that killed 10 people was not clear at this stage.
“The investigation is still ongoing. Homicide investigators are working around the clock to gather additional information and determine a motive for this extremely tragic event,” said Sheriff Luna.
US President Joe Biden also ordered flags on all public buildings to be flown at half-staff in tribute to the victims of the massacre until sundown on Thursday, according to a White House press release.
