By Chloe KimBBC News, Washington
The 26-year-old man credited with disarming The California shooting suspect had never seen a real gun before.
Late on Saturday evening, working at his family-run Dance Hall in Alhambra , Brandon Tsay found himself staring at one pointed directly at him.
" My heart sank, I knew I was going to die, " Mr Tsay told The New York Times.
He did not know The Gunman was believed to have killed 10 people just minutes earlier at another Dance Hall .
Mr Tsay lunged at The Man and eventually disarmed him, averting another tragedy.
The Gunman , identified as 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a van, according to police.
The mass shooting is one of The deadliest in California's history. It began at around 22:22 local time on Saturday (06:22 GMT on Sunday) at The popular Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park , about seven miles (11km) east of central Los Angeles .
Celebrations for Lunar New Year had been under way in The area, known for its large Asian population.
About 30 Minutes after The Shooting , The Gunman arrived at a second location - The Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio in The nearby town of Alhambra - which is where Mr Tsay confronted him.
He was in The Office near The lobby when he saw The Gunman 's semi-automatic assault pistol pointed at him.
Mr Tsay, a computer coder, told ABC's Good Morning America he did not recognise The Man .
" It looked like he was looking for targets, people to harm, " Mr Tsay said.
When The Gunman started prepping his weapon, Mr Tsay said " something came over him" and he knew he had to " disarm him otherwise everyone would have died".
" When I got The courage, I lunged at him with both my hands, " He Said .
When Mr Tsay finally wrestled away The Weapon , he pointed it at The Man and yelled: " Go, get The hell out of here! " After a moment, Mr Tsay said The Man left and jogged to his van.
" Immediately I called police with The Gun still in my hand, " he added.
Initially, Sheriff Robert Luna of Los Angeles County said it had been Two People who wrestled The Gun away, but CCTV shows only one person - Mr Tsay.
The Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio was closed on Sunday in The Wake of The Tragedy , but will reopen for classes on Monday .
