An early morning argument at a Los Angeles restaurant apparently triggered a gun battle that left three people dead and 12 wounded, authorities said on Saturday. Police who arrived at the scene found shell casings and blood throughout the restaurant, located west of downtown Los Angeles. After the couple left the restaurant and returned, “that’s when the shooting occurred”. LAPD sergeant Frank Preciado told the Los Angeles Times that the restaurant was “a bloody scene with shell casings everywhere”. The Times described the restaurant as a popular Jamaican eatery in a converted house that features a DJ on Friday night.
