Police searched for suspects Sunday in a shooting that killed three men and injured four during a brawl at a popular Los Angeles-area bowling alley and karaoke bar.

Cell phone video aired by KNBC-TV showed groups of people throwing punches as a crowd gathered late Friday at Gable House Bowl in the coastal city of Torrance. Gunshots suddenly rang out and onlookers screamed and ran for their lives.

There were no arrests. Police Sgt Ronald Harris said Sunday that investigators are trying to determine if there may be more than one suspect.

"We just don't know at this point," he said.

"That's one of the many questions detectives are looking at."
Two other men were struck by gunfire but "opted to seek their own medical attention."
Dwayne Edwards, 60, of Los Angeles, said he received a call from his nephew that his 28-year-old son, Astin Edwards, was one of those killed. His nephew told him his son was attempting to break up a fight when a gunman "just started unloading."
"I'm thinking this is a dream and I'll wake up," Edwards told the Orange County Register. "He was a good kid. I don't understand it."
"He was happy. He was always a protector," Dumas said. "That's how he got into this, he was trying to protect others."
