On May 5, a mass shooting in Carrollton, Texas, a suburb north of Dallas, left at least two people dead and three hospitalized, according to local authorities.
Carrollton Police Chief Roberto Arredondo said at a news conference that officers responded to a shooting at K-Town Plaza around 11 a.m. local time, and authorities were investigating multiple scenes near the plaza.
Arredondo identified the suspect as Son Ho Han, 69, and said he was arrested after the shooting following a brief pursuit at the H-Mart in the plaza. Arredondo told reporters that the exact motive was unclear, but that the victim and suspect had met for “business purposes.”
“I don’t know the exact nature of the meeting, but I understand that it is a business relationship,” Arredondo said. The chief ruled out the shooting as a hate crime, saying it was not a “random shooting.”
The Associated Press described Carrollton, about 32 miles north of Dallas, as “a thriving Korean town in the Dallas metropolitan area, thanks to Korean investors.”
