Police say a Florida man who fatally shot two people and then killed himself Tuesday in the drive-thru of a Wendy’s restaurant had been in a relationship with one of the victims.
The shooter’s two-year relationship with the female victim had ended recently because of his violent behavior, Hallandale Beach police said following its investigation.
Officials say the shooter rammed his vehicle into the victims’ vehicle early Tuesday as she was getting her food. As the victim reversed to get away, the man exited his vehicle and began firing his handgun, striking the woman and her passenger.
Police found the man dead nearby with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Witnesses said they heard about 10 shots shortly before 1 a.m.
“It was boom, boom, boom. It was quick,” Perk Fargo told local TV stations.
