This is when he turned around and walked out the door, jogged back to his van.

``I really thought I would have to shoot him and he came at me.

``I thought he would run away, but he was just standing there contemplating whether to fight or to run,'' Tsay said. He said he yelled at the man to ``get the hell out of here,'' threatening to shoot. Tsay said he used his elbows to try to dislodge the gun from the man's hands, and eventually after a life-or-death struggle, he managed to grab the weapon and point it at the man.

He was hitting me across the face, bashing the back of my head.'' We struggled into the lobby, trying to get this gun away from each other. ``When I got the courage, I lunged at him with both my hands, grabbed the weapon and we had a struggle. I needed to take this weapon, disarm him or else everybody would have died. ``I realized I needed to get the weapon away from him. ``He started prepping the weapon and something came over me,'' Tsay said. Tsay, whose family runs the Lai Lai studio, said the gunman was ``looking around the room'' as if he was ``looking for targets.'' ``My first thought was I was going to die here, this is it,'' Tsay told ABC's ``Good Morning America'' on Monday. Unbeknownst to Tsay at the time, Tran had just shot 20 people - 11 fatally - at a dance studio in Monterey Park less than 20 minutes earlier.

Tsay, 26, confronted 72-year-old gunman Huu Can Tran when he walked into the Lai Lai Ballroom and Studio in Alhambra late Saturday night. Tsay will receive a ``medal of courage'' from the Alhambra Police Department and other honors.
