  Doesn't really prove a ton given how many Americans avoid treatment for many illnesses due to not being able to afford it.  A ton of mentally ill people slip through the cracks.
context: Update: Officials Say Gunman Who Killed 10 in California Is Dead due to Self-Inflict Gunshot Wounds. The Suspect’s Body was Found Inside a Van in Torrance. >
  
  UPDATE: The unidentified person who was found deceased is in fact, the gunman from the Monterey Park Mass Shooting. He is identified as 72-Year-Old Huu Can Tran. Took his own life via Self-Gunshot Wound.
  EDIT 1: OK. I'm not really sure some sources have it as Yuu Can Tran whereas other sources have it as Huu Can Tran. >
  
  Wow is he the oldest mass shooter on record? >
  
  He probably played too many video games obviously /s >
  
  In the press conference, they said something about another incident a few blocks down the street at Alhambra, and that they were looking into whether that might be connected.  Does anyone know what happened in that other incident? >
  
  If this did happen, than it’s one of 3 potential scenarios as far as I could see: 
  1) It’s the same shooter from the first club, who tried to continue his spree - but got caught and simply hasn’t been confirmed to be the same guy yet. 
  2) It’s a whole different guy, and if so - that’s a remarkable coincidence…
  3) If it’s NOT a coincidence that there were two shootings from two different people, than that would suggest a coordinated planned event of some kind. >_< >
  
  “Saturday's shooting was the worst mass shooting in Los Angeles County since a disgruntled ex-husband killed 10 people in Covina in 2008.”
  Disgruntled?! What a choice of words. >
  
  That Covina massacre was absolutely horrific. He came in the house dressed as Santa, immediately started shooting and spraying gasoline from a compressed container as a homemade flame thrower. Horrible. >
  
  Absolutely horrific. I was flabbergasted that the reporter would choose that word, but what’s worse is that it’s the exact word used in the first line of Wikipedia page. >
  
  Idk if it cones from law enforcement, or media standard, but "disgruntled" is used to desribe criminals all the time. Disgruntled employees. Disgruntled spouse. I see it a lot. >
  
  It's a media term- rather than use a spread of different specific terms, it's more efficient to use a single term for a motivated, angry individual, makes it easier to push stories to print. Plus, you don't have to know the full motive to use "disgruntled", and police investigations can take time to uncover the full reasoning behind the murder. >
  
  At a ballroom having a Lunar New Year event >
  
  The story has been updated, the shooting seems to have occured at Star Dance Studio. Shooter entered the front door and just opened fire indiscriminately.
  19 people were shot according to the scanner, 12 casualties including the club’s boss according to an eyewitness account.
  Police press conference scheduled by 4 am California time.
  Edit: updates from police press conference, 10 confirmed dead, 10 known to be injured from stable to critical conditions and transported to hospitals. Shooter is not caught. Identity and motive is not known. >
  
  What is this world.. all out to have a fun time and celebrate, all to change in a blink of an eye. A week of celebration turned into day of horrors. >
  
  America, where anyone can get a military weapon and wipe out the life of a mass amount of people. Not the rest of the world, this is just an American problem and y'all vote in Republicans who allow this. >
  
  It's a gun problem!
  No it's a mental health problem!
  America: does absolutely fuck all about either. >
  
  There are people with mental health problems all over the world, and many countries suck just as bad if not worse than the US in handling mental health. Yet other countries do not have mass murders like this every few weeks. 
  Case in point: the same exact day the Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre took place, a mentally ill man in China walked into an elementary school and attacked a group of 1st graders. 20 were injured, none died. Why? Because the MFer had a knife! If he had an AR 15 like Adam Lanza did, this situation would have been very different. 
  Guns are not the only problem, but they are a big part of why this happens just in the US and not anywhere else. >
  
  Word.
  Poor mental health causes issues.
  Poor mental health with a gun culture causes mass shootings.
