1 Killed, 1 Shot; Man Then Kills Himself : Crime: Police say assailant shot man visiting his wife at a mall and then drove to an apartment and wounded another man.

One man was shot to death and a second was critically wounded Saturday in Los Angeles’ Koreatown district by a jealous husband who then turned the gun on himself, inflicting a fatal wound, authorities said.

The assailant gunned down his first victim as he tried to flee from a shopping mall, then drove two miles to an apartment where he wounded his second victim, said Lt. Marlin (Doc) Warkentin, chief of detectives of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Rampart Division.

The gunman, identified as Tae Yong So, 51, killed himself with one shot to the head, Warkentin said. Fatally shot was Soo Il Shun, 45. The second victim, Pu Oung Choi, 49, was listed in critical condition at County-USC Medical Center, authorities said.

“It appears that the husband was jealous,” Warkentin said. “But we’re not certain at this time what the associations were between his wife and the two victims.”

Officers who responded to reports of gunfire shortly before 10 a.m. found Soo collapsed on a sidewalk in front of United Citizen National Bank in the 2700 block of West Olympic Boulevard.

Witnesses told police that Tae had driven to a shop in the mall where his wife operates a business. Observing her in the shop with another man, Tae confronted the man, chased him out into the street, and shot at him as he ran west on Olympic. After the man stumbled and fell, Tae approached him and shot him twice more, Warkentin said.

Tae then drove his Cadillac to an apartment building in the 900 block of South Ardmore Avenue. He knocked on an apartment door and when Pu opened it, Tae shot him in the mouth, Warkentin said.

As Pu lay wounded on the floor, Tae placed the gun to his head and fired. He died instantly, Warkentin said.

Although witnesses told police Tae had two guns with him, police only found a 9 millimeter handgun. At least 10 shots were fired, Warkentin said.
