Watch How 'Hero' Man Wrestles Monterey Park Shooter To Disarm Him [Video]

A man wrestled the suspect of the Monterey Park, California, mass shooting to disarm him and prevent more casualties after the gunman killed 11 people Saturday night, newly released footage showed.

In a surveillance video obtained and released by NBC News, 26-year-old Brandon Tsay was seen wrestling with the suspect, identified as 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, in the lobby of the Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio, the second location visited by the gunman that night.

The suspect was captured walking into the ballroom in California's Alhambra, near Monterey Park, where he unleashed dozens of bullets at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio just minutes earlier.

Thirty seconds later, the suspect was seen struggling with Tsay as the latter attempted to take the gun from Tran. Tsay managed to take the gun from the suspect after an intense fight.

Not giving up, the suspect punched Tsay in the head as Tsay held on to the weapon. The men continue to tussle until Tsay managed to push the gunman. After a few more attempts to grab the gun, the suspect gave up and fled.

The entire ordeal lasted about four minutes, as per the video obtained by the outlet.

"There was a moment I actually froze up, because I was, I had the belief that I was gonna die, like my life was ending here, at that very moment," Tsay said on "NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt" Monday.

"But something amazing happened, a miracle actually," he added. "He started to try to prep his weapon so he could shoot everybody, but then it dawned on me that this was the moment to disarm him. I could do something here that could protect everybody and potentially save myself."

Tsay said that Tran entered the room trying to find more people inside the Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio, about 2 miles from Tran's first shooting rampage in Monterey Park's Star Ballroom Dance Studio, where police found 42 shell casings.

"He was looking at me and looking around, not hiding that he was trying to do harm. His eyes were menacing," Tsay told The New York Times.

Tsay said on "NBC Nightly News" that Tran remained silent throughout the ordeal, and his face remained stoic.

Tsay said that he had no idea that Tran had killed 10 people at another ballroom about 20 minutes earlier. He said that he had to threaten to shoot the man before he fled. After the gunman walked out, Tsay immediately called the police.

The 26-year-old, a coder who works part-time at Lai Lai's ticket office, which was founded by his grandparents and is currently run by his older sister, was hailed a hero for preventing more casualties during the Lunar New Year celebrations in the area.

Tran was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound the day after the massacre, police said.

An 11th victim in the Monterey Park shooting died in the hospital Monday.

Law enforcement officials said that the mass murderer's motive appeared to be personal.

Multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation told NBC News that evidence gathered so far seems to rule out terrorism or a hate crime.
