Brandon Tsay, man who disarmed Monterey Park gunman, honored by lawmakers and officials

Brandon Tsay, the man who disarmed the gunman who killed 11 people at a Monterey Park, California, dance hall during a Lunar New Year Celebration, was honored for his heroic act with a medal of courage. He is credited with saving countless lives by wrestling the gun out of the suspect's hand at a dancehall in Alhambra, where the suspect fled after his massacre. 

After the shooting at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park, the suspect fled about 30 minutes to the Lai Lai Ballroom in Alhambra, where Tsay, 26, confronted him, and wrestled his gun out of his hands. The incident was caught on surveillance camera. 

During a ceremony in his honor on Sunday, the Alhambra Police Department presented Tsay with a medal of courage and state and local lawmakers presented him with certificates recognizing his heroism.
