Bowling alley shooting leaves 3 dead, 4 injured

Torrance, California (AP) -- A shooting at a bowling alley in southern California has left three men dead at the scene and four injured, late Friday according to police who responded shortly after midnight.

Police in Torrance tweeted early Saturday about "reports of shots fired" at the Gable House Bowl. The shooting was apparently from an argument that happened at the bowling lanes.

The tweet said:

"T P D is on scene. Investigation is ongoing. Please stay away from the area."

All three men who were killed, died at the scene. Two of the injured were transported to a local hospital with unspecified injuries, while two other wounded people sought medical attention on their own, Sgt. Ronald Harris stated.

The victims or suspects have not yet been identified nor has what led to the shooting been made public, if it is known. Witnesses said, however, that it stemmed from a fight between two large groups.

Gable House is described on its website as a gaming venue that offers bowling, laser tag and a full arcade. It also has a karaoke bar.

Mr. Dwayne Edwards, 60, of Los Angeles, received a call from his nephew, he said, informing him that his son Astin Edwards, 28, was one of the victims who was killed. His nephew told him that Astin tried to break up a fight when a gunman "just started unloading."

One grieving mother told KABC-7 that her son, Robert Meekins, 28, was also killed at the scene. He was a friend of Astin Edwards, she said, and she believes he also tried to help in breaking up the fight.

This is a developing story.

Well here we are in the beginning of a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.
