The shooter apparently got into an argument earlier in the bowling alley with some other people and was asked to leave by security personnel, police said. After leaving with his friends, the suspect was apparently still upset by the confrontation, went to his car and took out a gun and shot the victim, who was standing by his car, according to police, who added that the suspect apparently does not know the victim.
