A man was killed and two women were injured after a shooting broke out at a sports bar in El Monte, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Police in El Monte were called shortly after midnight Saturday to the Silver Dollar Saloon on Lower Azusa Road. There, officers found a man on the ground suffering from at least one gunshot wound.
"You don’t know who’s going in and who’s going out people tend to act different when they drink," said Ray Charles, who works nearby. "I’ll put it like this, it’s a bar and it can get wild."
The individual, whose identity has not been revealed, died of their injuries, according to law enforcement.
