A shooting rampage early Sunday morning left one man dead in Anaheim and another wounded in Koreatown before the gunman fatally shot himself, reports KTLA.
The suspect, 54-year-old Young Choi of Los Angeles allegedly shot and killed the boyfriend of his ex-wife, 55-year-old Fung Yoon in Anaheim then drove 35 miles to Koreatown where he got into a dispute with a second man, 58-year-old Ick Choi.
Anaheim police responded to a the first call about 4:15 a.m. and arrived at an apartment on North West Street to find Yoon with several gunshot wounds. He was taken by paramedics to a hospital and died shortly after 5 a.m.
Los Angeles police responded around 5:30 a.m. to find the second victim standing in the street in Koreatown with a gunshot wound. Officers heard a shot and found the gunman on the sidewalk several houses away with a self-inflicted wound to the head.
The suspect and second victim -- who was in critical condition, but expected to live --were not related but longtime friends, reports KTLA. According to police, the motive in that shooting was apparently caused by an ongoing dispute.

We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
