Only one other mass shooting suspect was 70 or older over the last decade.
The suspected perpetrator of the grisly Monterey Park shooting appears to have bucked a growing trend among mass shooting suspects: age.
On Saturday evening, a mass shooting broke out in the predominantly Asian American Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park when a gunman opened fire in a dance studio, killing 11 and critically wounding others. The venue had been hosting an event for the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday.Huu Can Tran , 72, had been located in a white van roughly 30 miles southwest of Monterey Park in Torrance. He was found dead in the vehicle from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
While further details about the alleged shooter continue to emerge, it can be determined now that Tran is the oldest mass shooting suspect in at least a decade, bucking the recent trend of suspects getting younger., the average age of mass shooters between 1966 and 2020 was roughly 33 years old. An increasingly large contingent of shooters is even younger than that, about 21 and younger.
