Five people were shot Saturday afternoon at a wake in South Los Angeles, authorities reported. A fight broke out about 3:30 p.m. during the wake, which was held at a storefront near the intersection of West 91st Street and Western Avenue, said Los Angeles Police Sgt. According to police, a man left the gathering, returned with a rifle and began shooting into the storefront. Police suspect the motive for the shooting was gang-related because numerous gang members attended the wake, which was held for a person who died of natural causes. Bojorquez said all five people were taken to local hospitals for non-life threatening injuries and all were in stable condition Saturday night.
