Police were searching for a gunman early Saturday after three people died in a shooting at a bowling alley near Los Angeles.
The shooting was reported just before midnight local time (3 a.m. ET), Torrance police said in a statement. The city is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Officers and fire officials arrived at Gable House Bowl to find multiple people wounded.
Two men were taken to hospital for treatment while two other men sought medical attention on their own. None of the injured were employees of the venue.
The three men killed were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The identities of the victims have not yet been released.
Police have launched a homicide investigation, but no word on possible suspects or motive have been released.
Like most... Does this Bowling Alley serve alcohol? Grew up in Bowling Alleys and after the kiddos go home you might as well just take the title “bowling alley” off the sign because they become nothing more than a full fledged adult BAR with all the same problems like this that go along with a BAR.
I will bet aweeks pay that the shooter is illegal AND a gang member!!!
According to witnesses, the shooting stemmed from a brawl at the bowling alley.
Wes Hamad, a 29-year-old Torrance resident, was with his 13-year-old niece and cousin when he saw a “huge fight” break out. Hamad said the altercation, which lasted about five minutes, blocked the entrance of bowling alley and devolved into “complete chaos.”
Who the hell are you for putting down Torrance? Where do you live in California? Cars afford transportation for miles these days. You can actually travel over forty miles in just an hour now-a-days!!! a mere sixty minutes. Gang members living in Wilmington can even get in a car and visit Westwood or Brentwood. Think of that!!
I suppose that makes those areas gang zones.
I live in CA. and Torrance is NOTHING like it used to be, I used to work there in the 80s I can tell you I would NEVER work there now it is to dangerous!!!!
Great, so you worked here. Bully for you!!
Im not putting down Torrance. I live in LA, trust me, there are good parts and bad parts to EVERY city. I live here on the Westside, some parts I wouldn’t want to go through at night..the homeless population here on the Westside is HORRIBLE..ever go to the Beverly Center, its VERY BAD even during the day. Im just saying there are good parts and bad parts to every city, Torrance included..Westside included
You are taking this far to personally, ALL of CA. has become a pit I live in Ventura County now, I have Next Door AND Ring videos coming across my iPad EVERY damn day of frigging car thefts, home thefts, package thefts AND this is supposed to be one of the BEST areas in CA. until we close the damn border AND end sanctuary status this ENTIRE state will become a cesspool!!! Look at San Francisco for Gods sake WAS one of the most beautiful cities in CA. it is NOW full of crime, homeless, AND it doesnt matter anymore how much you pay to live there OR how upscale the area is and that is a FACT!!!!
I understand. The bowling alley is located at Hawthorne Blvd. and Sepulveda Blvd. That is actually a pretty safe area, but it is not a well-lighted parking lot. Sorry that I got pissed, but Torrance, in a sense, has been good to me.
Im sorry I would never bash an entire city. My cousin works in El Segundo, he used to work in Torrance..he told me certain parts at night are not safe to be around..but that can be said for ANY city especially here in LA..trust me PLENTY of parts here on the Westside are total sh*tholes thanks to liberal policies..can’t walk down the street without being yelled at by a homeless person..go to The Grove, Beverly Center, Culver City, cities you would think “Oh too nice to have issues like that” and you see it
Your points are well taken.
The Westside has gotten well..kind of sh*tty..just a few days ago someone was stabbed near the Sprouts on Bagley/Exposition..where they have the train, that area has always been good, but they have a homeless encampment in the area so there ya go
No one is trying to degrade where you live, we who live in CA. are ALL in this same situation a screwed up government DESTROYING our once beautiful and SAFE state!!!
EliRoom8 you have to get these folks INTO the churches, when I was growing up we were taught the 10 commandments in school AND of course our history was not distorted!!!
I agree. I love Torrance, it’s been great to me. It’s a low-crime, safe city in general and I always felt safe there. My parents have lived there for 47 years. There are just some trouble spots and those are generally around the mall and most of that trouble is generated by people who don’t even live in Torrance. It really hurt my heart to read about this last night since Gable House was like a second home to me in high school and college. My brother and I were in bowling leagues and tournaments there, went there for parties. It’s a shame.
Gable House Bowl is just blocks from Del Amo Fashion Center, the 3rd largest mall in the US. People come from all over the region to hang out there, and with it comes riff raff.

I don’t live in Torrance...However, I am familiar with the city...
I have never visited Gable House Bowl before...However, I am familiar with the area near Hawthorne Blvd and Sepulveda Blvd. A job placement agency once gave me an assignment in the area...
I agree that Torrance is a good place...Median home sale price, in Torrance, was $752,900 for last year.(zillow.com)
Torrance by represented by Congressman Ted Lieu and Congresswoman Maxine Waters...Lieu represents 90503 and 90505 zip codes...Waters represents area north of PCH and east of Hawthorne Blvd...By the way, I do not like both Dems...

I think I know the area you are talking about...It is near the Westside Pavilion...I drove through the area many times...
Westside of Los Angeles is very liberal area...
I don’t think I have ever seen a homeless encampment in Culver City...Maybe Culver City PD is less tolerant of homeless people than LAPD...
