GLENDALE, Ariz. — Three people are dead and five others were injured after a shooting at a restaurant in a Phoenix suburb Sunday night, police said.
Police received calls reporting shots around 7:45 p.m. at El Camaron Gigante Mariscos & Steakhouse, Glendale Police Department Officer Moroni Mendez said during a briefing. Mendez said three people died from their injuries and five other people were injured by gunshots or shrapnel, KPHO-TV reported.
“Obviously there was a lot of people here,” Mendez said. “A lot of people that were attending some sort of event. Anyone who has information, please come forward and provide that to us because as we just recently stated, there are three deceased. So we want to make sure we do a complete and thorough investigation, and do right by the victims.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
“A witness spoke to 12News and said the restaurant El Camarón Gigante was holding a family-friendly Cinco de Mayo party with dozens of people of all ages in attendance.”
It was a mostly family-friendly party
Celebratory gunfire is fairly common among ethnic groups.
Been there...heard that.
And mostly peaceful. Most attendees were not shot.
Celebrating Stinky De Mayo?
Early stinko Dee piehole celebrations?
ALOT OF PEOPLE ATTENDING “SOME SORT OF EVENT”???
THIS MEDIA MEMBER CAN SAY THAT ON THE EVE OF CINCO DE MAYO??
LAME isn’t strong enough
In some cultures it is quite common for two or three people to be killed during or after some sort of joyous celebrative event. It’s always a good time being had by all until someone says something that annoys someone else and the only acceptable response is to kill the person who did the annoying. It seems like they always have guns even though gun ownership is restricted by many laws. (Gun laws are like communism: they have never worked because they haven’t been done right every time in the past, but this time they will get it right.)
An early start on the normal gun-play of Cinco de Mayo.
Disregard, amigo.
The perp(s) didn’t have far to travel to get back across the border.
On a positive or thoughtful note, the Glendale Police Department is conveniently located across the street from the shooting location.
AZ is a Constitutional carry state. Open or concealed—head on a swivel.
Rivals. Happens lots of times. Family has big open party.... targets of opportunity for rivals.
Jumping the gun. Sunday was the Cuatro de Mayo.
Just a little celebratory diversity. Who are we to judge?
Did a liberal Karen spot an Anglo with a margarita?
