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.

Another person who was hurt in the shooting was found at a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound to their arm. It is unclear how they arrived at the medical facility.

Several people were at the sports bar at the time of the shooting, which took place just hours after the Dodgers advanced to the National League Championship Series.

Details on what led up to the shooting were not immediately available.
