California has witness yet another deadly shooting, as three people are reported killed and four seriously injured after a shooting at a bowling alley late Friday in Southern California.
According to RMG News who interviewed witness, said the gunshots at the Gable House Bowl in Torrance went off just before midnight. A fight first involving young ladies, then men happened shortly beforehand, sending people running, a witness said.
The said witness went ahead to explain that:
“Then maybe a minute and a half later, all of the sudden all we heard was, pop, pop, pop,”
“Bowlers were diving under the benches. The people that were still bowling on the lanes were on the floors, underneath the seats.”
People were looking for their parents, because this is a family league. You’ve got mothers, fathers, sons, daughters everybody’s friends in that league,” she added.
The Southern California City police are still trying to identify the shooter, as they are “working to identify the suspect(s) involved,”
Keithnisha More, one of those standing outside Saturday, said her brother-in-law was one of those who died and that he leaves behind a son.
“How do you explain to a 5-year-old boy that his father is dead?” More said. “How does my sister-in-law tell this little boy that daddy is gone? Just gone.”
The names of the dead and wounded weren’t immediately released.
Witness: ‘People started to run’
A man who says he was in a karaoke area of the building when the shooting happened described a scene of panic.
“People started to run inside the karaoke (area), shouting, ‘Gunshot, gunshot, gunshot,'” the man, identified on Facebook as D Ryon Thomas, says in a video posted to the social network.
Staff ushered people into an area in the back of the building, he said.
Police ask public for video
Detectives are going to examine surveillance video recorded inside the building, Torrance police Sgt. Ron Harris said.
We’re also asking anyone in the public who might have seen anything, or (recorded) any cell phone video or other video, to come forward and help in this investigation,” Harris said.
Torrance police officers saw multiple people with gunshot wounds when they arrived, and they started lifesaving measures, including CPR and using a defibrillator, police said in a news release.
Video from RMG News on the southern California shooting showed numerous firefighters or other first responders tending to people outside.
The Gable House Bowl is open until 3 a.m. on Saturdays. The complex also offers laser tag and a bar, its website says.
