Police are looking for the gunman who shot and wounded three men at a Chinese restaurant in West Oak Lane Tuesday night.

The victims, ages 19, 21 and 22, were reported in stable condition at Albert Einstein Medical Center.

Officers responding to a report of a person with a gun about 10:30 p.m. found a crime scene but no victims at the restaurant on the 6600 block of North 18th Street, police said. The wounded men went to the hospital in private cars, the officers were told.

Questioned at the hospital, the victims told police they were in the restaurant when a man in a dark hoodie and wearing gloves approached and pulled a black handgun.

The victims pushed the door and tried to hold it closed, but the gunman fired through it, hitting the men, police said.

One man was shot in the right arm and right leg, the second was hit in the left leg and the third was wounded in the right arm, police said.

The gunman fled north on 18th Street, police said.

Investigators have not disclosed a possible motive.
