PICO RIVERA (AP) -- At least three people were killed and seven others wounded, in a shooting Saturday evening outside a Pico Rivera pizza restaurant where a motorcycle group was holding a fundraiser.Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Keith Ho said the victims were gathered in the parking lot of Falcone's Pizza at 9247 Slauson Avenue at about 6:45 p.m., when the gunfire began.
Some witnesses said a man fired a handgun into the crowd without any apparent provocation, then entered the passenger side of a dark-colored vehicle that sped away west on Slauson Avenue. But other people said the gunfire came from inside two separate vehicles.
Three people -- including two brothers -- were pronounced dead at the scene. The others were hospitalized in stable condition.
Nobody inside the restaurant was injured in the attack.
A biker group known as the Old School Riders was hosting an event at the location, according to the organization's Web site. A flyer said security would be provided.
The website says the group's mission is "to enjoy the outdoors and also join together to participate in charitable events." It also says the group is made up of family and friends, and no one represents any specifc biker club.
Anyone with more information about the shooting is asked to call sheriff's homicide detectives at (323) 890-5500.
