One Dead in Shooting Outside Golden Corral in City of Industry

Tragedy in the City of Industry

A worker at a Golden Corral was shot dead in the city of Industry Monday night. Police say the female employee was outside of the restaurant after closing, but never made it to her car. Instead, according to CBS Los Angeles, she was struck in the torso with a bullet, and her car was left riddled with holes. The murder does not appear to be a robbery, police say, but rather a personal dispute turned ugly.
