Shooting at Hollywood restaurant leaves 1 dead, 1 wounded
Police caution tape
Los Angeles police say a woman has died from her wounds following a shooting at a Thai restaurant in Hollywood. Her male companion was also wounded.
LAPD Officer Norma Eisenman said that the shooting at the Pink Pepper restaurant was reported late Friday night.
The motive for the shooting is not known, but KTLA reports that it appears to have stemmed from an argument on the patio.
Police tell KTLA that the man pulled out a gun and pointed it at the woman, who tried to grab the weapon.
Three gunshots were fired, shattering glass; two hit the man, and one hit the woman. Eisenman says that both victims were conscious when they were taken to a hospital.
Early Saturday police reported that the woman had later died, but that the man underwent surgery and was expected to live.
No names have been released.
