California authorities have arrested two Americans who fired at a strip club in Anaheim from a machine gun. The conflict occurred over the requirement to wear medical masks when visiting a facility, reports Business Insider.
According to law enforcement , two men quarreled with the club administration over masks , after which they left and returned with a Kalashnikov assault rifle. One of them started shooting – fired 15 bullets at the building, as a result of which two workers and a visitor were injured.
They were soon found and arrested in Orange County. Judging by the names and surnames, the suspects belong to the Latin American community. They did not admit their guilt.

Along with them, another person was arrested – the one who, presumably, brought the attackers to the club building, he could be given up to 17 years in prison.
