Two people were killed and four others wounded when a group of men suddenly opened fire with pistols inside a crowded Vietnamese restaurant in Garden Grove, police said. Three men described only as Asians carried out the gangland-style attack at the My Nguyen restaurant, then fled. Police said they had no suspects or motive for the killings. The dead were identified as Quy Ngoc Nguyen, 23, a recent engineering graduate of Cal State Long Beach, and Minh Luu, 23, who lived in the Riverside County community of Sunnymead. Luu was struck in the chest and Nguyen in the neck; both were dead by the time paramedics arrived, according to police. Few witnesses had a clear recollection of what happened in the 100-seat restaurant, . And while police and the restaurant manager said there was a “possibility” that the incident was gang related, Nguyen’s sister, Thao Nguyen, 26, said her brother had never been involved with gangs.
