A group of men from Ventura County who were attending a bachelor party in Nevada were victims of a mass shooting on Monday, leaving two of them dead and two others seriously wounded.
The men were about to return home when a gunman approached them in the valet area of a hotel. According to police, he tried to open fire, but his gun jammed. The group scattered, but the man fixed his weapon and fired several shots, hitting four members of the group.
One of those who died was Andrew Canepa, owner of Side Street Café in Newbury Park. Customers responded by showing up at the café with flowers and a memorial poster.
The name of the other man from Ventura County who died hasn’t been released yet.
A third person who was driving through the parking lot of the hotel was also shot and killed during the attack.
Police say there is no known connection between the gunman and the victims of the attack. The motive is still unknown. The gunman was shot and seriously wounded by officers.
