This was even on international news stations like Press TV (Iranian). They specifically mentioned Armenian gangs. Nice.

Four Die In Los Angeles Restaurant Shooting

Four people have been killed and two others wounded in a shooting in a restaurant in Los Angeles.


Emergency services remove a body after the shooting

Three men died at the scene at the Hot Spot Mediterranean Cafe, while the other died later of his wounds, Los Angeles police department said.
The two injured people were taken to hospital where one remains in a critical condition.
The suspect, a white man in his 30s who may be Armenian, fled the scene.
Police have not yet discovered a motive but inside sources say the shooting may be linked to Armenia gangs.
"It's a very complex investigation that we are involved in right now," LAPD Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese said.
"Anytime we have a shooting at an eatery in broad daylight, we all need to be concerned."
Police do not think it was a random shooting.
When a local resident asked the police chief if she should fear for her own safety, he replied: "We don't believe we have a crazed gunman running around looking to shoot someone."
Locals later aired their suspicions about the restaurant itself, saying the cafe often seemed strangely empty.
"The place is shady," one local, who heard the gunshot, was quoted as saying. "It opened five years ago and it's always closed and empty."
"There's always people outside talking but never anyone eating," said another.

Yeah, I read their names in another article. I think three died and one is in critical condition. I also read an article that said two other people were hit but they're expected to be okay. There's a bunch of articles and they all have something different in them so the details on this are still murky. What's for sure is that they were Armenian because the entire L.A Armenian community is gossiping about it this morning.

Three men died at the scene, and another later died at a hospital. Los Angeles police identified the victims as Harut Baburyan, 28; Sarkis Karadjian, 26; Vardan Tofalyan, 31; and Hayk Yegnanyan, 25. No hometowns or other information was released.

Two other people were wounded but were expected to survive. Their names were not released.

Police set up a mobile command post near the scene and closed a stretch of Riverside Drive overnight. At about 3:30 a.m., a tow truck took away a late-model Toyota sedan that had what appeared to be blood splattered on the outside.

The bodies of three men remained inside the restaurant overnight as detectives and coroner's investigators gathered clues. A motive for the attack was unknown.

A nearby resident told The Daily News that the cafe often seemed strangely deserted.

"It opened five years ago, and it's always closed and empty," said Matt Edwards, who heard the gunfire.

Kim Sutton, who lives around the corner, said: "There's always people outside talking but never anyone eating."

Re: 6 Shot, 4 Killed In North Hollywood Shooting

Obviously there is more to the story then we will ever know as of what were the reasons for committing such a crime in bright daylight at a restaurant.

Hopefully one day we Armenians will learn to love, care and respect each other. And that life does not revolve around money, cars and drugs.

I cannot even imagine what the families of the victims are going through right now
