Monterey shooter complained about dancers saying ‘evil things about him’, claims friend, as ex-wife says he was ‘quick to anger’ and survivors reveal he left after running out of bullets only to reload and return to slaughter 10 in ballroom 

The former dance instructor, who is an immigrant from China, taught lessons at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio almost every night in the early 2000s when he lived five minutes away in the San Gabriel Valley. Those who knew Tran and recall him being hostile to his students also told CNN that he was easily irritated, complained a lot, and didn’t seem to trust people.
