MONTEREY PARK, Calif. — Two of the men who died at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park, where 11 people were fatally shot on Saturday, were aspiring to new goals in their 60s and 70s.

Wen Tau Yu, 64

Wen Tau Yu had recently begun going to school to become a pharmacist, his son, Szu Fa Yu, said in an interview.

“He was 64 years old and retired, but he was exploring his second career,” Mr. Yu said on Tuesday. “I really admire him for that.”

Mr. Yu remembered his father as someone who always strove to be his better self. “His books and notes are still lying around on the desk,” less than a month into the pharmacy program, he said. “It’s heartbreaking to see.”

He immigrated to the United States from Taiwan, where he was a manager at an agricultural company, according to Mr. Yu. “He had always supported our family,” he said, “We were very close. I learned a lot from him.”

Yu Lun Kao, 72

People close to Yu Lun Kao, who also went by Andy, knew he practiced long hours to perfect his dance moves, even outside the classes he attended, as a longtime member of the dance community in Monterey Park.

1. So damn sad.

Damn guns.

2. This is so sad but I'm proud of them for living their dreams still as old as they were.

Too bad a nut killed them and put an end to their dreams.

You are never too old. Never.

3. So very sad, all because of a mentally ill nutcase

with some sort of personal grudge. What is was about and against someone but who knows who the target or why
Also why go after so many, apparently he was just mad at the world.
