A man has shot dead 10 people, and wounded many others in California

The shooting incident occurred at a dance studio in Monterey Park, as people were celebrating the Lunar New Year on Saturday night local time.

A law enforcement tactical team has moved in and started searching a white cargo van.

Aerial video earlier showed officers approaching the van with rifles drawn.

One officer was seen breaking the passenger side window, then reaching inside and opening the door. Officers then opened the side doors and started searching the vehicle.

Law enforcement sources suggest that the van is potentially linked to the mass shooting.

Officers heard what they believed was the sound of the driver shooting himself during a standoff that started after officers pulled the van over, but this is all according to sources and police are still yet to confirm.

The bomb squad is also in attendance on the scene.

The L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna has praised all the officers and emergency workers on the scene.
