3 killed in LA shooting

Source: AP | 00:07 UTC+8 January 7, 2019 | Print Edition

Three men have been shot dead and four injured when a brawl at a popular Los Angeles-area bowling alley and karaoke bar erupted into gunfire that had terrified patrons, some children, running for their lives.

Police in the coastal city of Torrance responded shortly after midnight to calls on Friday of shots fired at the Gable House Bowl. They found seven people with gunshot wounds.

Three men were pronounced dead at the scene and two were taken to a hospital, Sergeant Ronald Harris said. Two other men were struck by gunfire but 鈥渙pted to seek their own medical attention.鈥

Authorities have not identified the victims nor suspects or released details about what led to the shooting. Witnesses said it stemmed from a fight between two large groups.

Dwayne Edwards, 60, of Los Angeles, said he received a call from his nephew that his 28-year-old son, Astin Edwards, was one of those killed. His nephew told him his son was attempting to break up a fight when a gunman 鈥渏ust started unloading.鈥

鈥淚鈥檓 thinking this is a dream and I鈥檒l wake up,鈥 Edwards told the Orange County Register. 鈥淗e was a good kid. I don鈥檛 understand it.鈥
