Three men were wounded – two of them critically – in a shooting at an eatery in Garden Grove on Saturday night.

According to Sgt. Nick Jensen of the GGPD, the incident took place at The Hot (Pot) Restaurant, 12921 Magnolia St., north of Garden Grove Boulevard.

Officers were dispatched at around 11:33 p.m. in response to a report of a shooting inside the business. They were told by patrons that a suspect was still inside the restaurant. Officers found him – described only as a Vietnamese male in his 40s who was a resident of Orange County – being held by customers of The Hot (Pot).

Police located two victims with gunshot wounds to the upper torso. They were treated by Orange County Fire Authority personnel and taken to a local hospital in critical condition. A third victim was found with minor wounds to the lower torso and is in stable condition.

The victims were described as two male Vietnamese residents of Orange County in their 40s and one in his 30s.

Police determined that all involved were patrons of the restaurant and that an “altercation” was followed by the shootings.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone who was a witness to the incident is asked to call Detective Steve Heine at (714) 741-5422 or GGPD dispatch at (714) 741-5704.
