Los Angeles police are looking for at least one gunman who killed four men in Valley Village restaurant and wounded two others.
The shooting occurred about 4:30 p.m. Saturday in the Hot Spot Cafe at 11651 Riverside Drive, a restaurant that neighbors told the Daily News was often empty.
The suspect is believed to be a man of Armenian decent about 30 years of age.
Police said the victims, all men believed to be in their 20s, appeared to have been targeted and that the shooting may be related to Armenian gangs. It was unclear how many people saw what happened, but the Los Angeles Times reported that the gunfire sent witnesses fleeing.
Three people died on the spot, and a fourth died at a hospital. Two other victims were hospitalized, one of them reported in critical condition early Sunday, according to police.
"Anytime we have a shooting at an eatery in broad daylight, we all need to be concerned," LAPD Deputy Chief of Operations-Valley Bureau Kirk Albanese told the media. "We (LAPD) don't believe we have a crazed gunman running around shooting people."
The names of those killed were unavailable early Sunday.
