Wes Hamad was at Gable House Bowl with his 13-year-old niece and cousin late Friday night when he saw a “huge fight” break out.
The brawl, lasting about five minutes, blocked the entrance and devolved into “complete chaos,” he said.
“I grabbed my niece and started running towards the far end of the bowling alley,” said Hamad, 29. “As we were running, we heard 15 shots.”
In the confusion, he noticed a woman weeping over a man. The victim, he said, was riddled with multiple gunshot wounds to his head and neck.
Three Los Angeles men in their 20s were killed and four more people were injured in the shooting. Investigators on Saturday were “doing their best to identify as quickly as possible” the suspect or suspects, said Torrance Police Sgt. Ronald Harris.
He did say officers arriving on scene treated those shot, including performing CPR and using a defibrillator. Firefighters also treated victims. All of those shot were in the same area of the bowling alley.
