What we know:

The first shooting happened just before 10 a.m. at the K Towne Plaza at the intersection of State Highway 121 and West Hebron Parkway in Carrollton.

Carrollton Police said that 69-year-old Seung Ho Han began firing shots during a business meeting near the plaza. Police discovered four people with gunshot wounds at the scene.

One adult male was killed during the shooting, while two adult males and one adult female were hospitalized but are in stable condition.

At approximately 11:10, Carrollton Police were notified of a second shooting in the area in the 2700 block of Old Denton Road.

Officers discovered one deceased male inside an apartment, and the investigation revealed Han carried out both shootings.

Han was arrested a few miles away at another Asian market, H-Mart, just a few miles away on Old Denton Road in Korea Town after a short foot chase.

He later confessed to shooting all five victims, telling investigators "he was angry at the victims due to financial disagreements related to their business dealings."

What they're saying:

Carrollton Police assured the public there is no ongoing threat. Carrollton Police Chief Robert Arredondo also confirmed the shooting was not a hate crime.

"This was an incident where it was not a random act," Arredondo said during a press conference earlier on Tuesday. "It was a known business relationship."

However, the violence rippled through Carrollton's Korean community.

"Conflicts happen no matter what community you live in. It's unfortunate when it does happen. We're mourning that this happened. It's unexpected. I think we all need to realize it could happen in any community and at the same time, we all need to work to resolve things in a better way rather than just turning to violence," said John Jun with the Korean American Coalition DFW Chapter.

Sungchul Woo, the President of the Korean Society of Dallas, came out to the scene to see it with his own eyes.

"It's so sad that we heard this tragic event, incident, here in Carrollton," Woo told FOX 4's Amelia Jones.

Woo says he knew some of the victims.

"They all worked hard, as immigrants, you know," Woo said. "They come here, and they work hard, they work for family, and they take care of each other."

What we don't know:

Authorities have not yet disclosed the identities of the victims.
