Yes...in the land of gun control, magazine control, assault weapon bans......criminals shot it out in a resaurant....
They are falsely reporting this as a mass public shooting....this has the ear marks of a gang shooting or drug deal gone really bad....
The shooters.......I would bet that none of them can legally buy, own or carry guns.......but California gun laws prevented this shooting...right?
'A bloody scene': 3 killed, 12 wounded in gun battle at West Adams restaurant
"We have street names for these suspects but we don't who the killers are yet,” he said. “The people shot either don't know the killers or aren't telling us what they do know."
As for the motive, Whittingham said it may have been more than a simple argument that erupted at the eatery, but detectives could not say for sure. A gun was recovered from the scene.
"It may be a narcotics-related dispute … a dispute between parties over business transactions," Whittingham said.
Detectives believe the shooters killed their primary target with a hail of bullets.
"We believe there was return fire," Whittingham said.
There were at least 50 people inside the restaurant in the 2900 block of Rimpau Boulevard at the time of the incident, Sgt. Frank Preciado said.
Three men left the restaurant, returned with firearms and began shooting, police said. Others at the restaurant also opened fire, and some diners were caught in the crossfire, Preciado said.
