A GUNMAN walked into a United States restaurant on Saturday and opened fire, killing four people and wounding two others, police said.
Three men were pronounced dead at the scene of the 4:40pm attack at the Hot Spot Mediterranean Cafe in Los Angeles, according to LA Police officer Rosario Herrera. Another man died of his wounds after being rushed to a hospital. Two other people were hospitalized.
Police are searching for the suspected gunman, described only as male around 30 years old. Investigators believe he fled in a vehicle. A motive for the attack was unknown.
"It's a very complex investigation that we are involved in right now," said LAPD Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese. "Anytime we have a shooting at an eatery in broad daylight, we all need to be concerned."
The identity of the shooting victims were not immediately released but police said five were men between 20 and 25 years old. Herrera also said she didn't know if the sixth victim was male or female.
Nearby residents told The Daily News the cafe often seemed strangely empty.
"The place is shady," said Matt Edwards, who lives close by and heard the gunfire. "It opened five years ago and it's always closed and empty."
Kim Sutton, who lives nearby, said: "There's always people outside talking but never anyone eating."
