Man Shot To Death After Argument Erupts At Baby Shower In Hawthorne
HAWTHORNE (CBSLA) — A man was fatally shot after an argument erupted during a baby shower in Hawthorne Monday night, authorities said.

Authorities say the shooting happened during a baby shower at the home. Witnesses told police there was an argument before the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot the man several times.
