Three people were killed and five others were injured after a shooting occurred inside a restaurant in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday evening, authorities said.
The shooting happened around 7:45 p.m. at El Camaron Gigante Mariscos & Steakhouse, Glendale Police Department Officer Moroni Mendez told reporters at the scene.
“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.”
Police did not immediately provide details about the three victims killed in the shooting. Mendez said the other five victims were injured by gunshots or shrapnel.
