LOS ANGELES, June 28 (Xinhua) -- Four people were killed and six other people wounded in an overnight shooting that broke out at a motorcycle club's charity event in Pico Rivera of Los Angeles, authorities said on Sunday.

    Three men, two of whom were brothers, died at the scene, Deputy Byron Ward said.

    Seven other people were wounded and taken to hospitals, and one of them died later, he said.

    The shooting was reported outside a Pizza restaurant at Slauson Avenue Saturday evening, Ward said.

    A motorcycle club was throwing a party at the pizza place, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    Richard Hayes, 48, told the newspaper he was heading to a party held by the Old School motorcycle club at the restaurant when he heard about a dozen shots while parking his car.

    Apparently, no immediate arrests were made.

    The motive for the killing was still under investigation, authorities said.
