Los Angeles, Apr 4 (PTI) A gunman, believed to be of Armenian descent,
opened fire inside a packed restaurant in the North Hollywood district
here, killing at least four people and injuring two others.

The incident occurred yesterday in the restaurant where a man walked
in and opened fire, police were quoted as saying by ‘Los Angeles
Times’.

The suspect, a white male in his 30s who was possibly an Armenian,
fled the scene and remained at large, Los Angeles Police Department
spokeswoman Rosario Herrera said.

According to Herrera, three people were declared dead at the scene
while one later succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

The involvement of Armenian gangs cannot be ruled out, sources close
to the investigation told the ‘Los Angeles Times’.

The victims were all men aged 20 to 25 years.
