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.
