Two killed in Florida restaurant

A gunman killed one person and injured several others at a Florida restaurant before turning the gun on himself.

The incident occurred at a Wendy's outlet in West Palm Beach, in the south-east of the state.

The gunman emerged from the toilets dressed in a business suit and opened fire, eyewitnesses told local TV.

Three of the survivors were in critical condition, a Palm Beach County sheriff spokeswoman said. Two others were slightly wounded.

A woman quoted by Associated Press news agency said she had been buying petrol near the restaurant when the shooting happened.

"I just saw a lady with a little boy in her arms come running out screaming, 'Somebody's shooting!"' said Sandra Jackson.

Another woman described opening the door of the restaurant to hear the "pop pop" of gunfire and see people running.

"I really didn't think that's what it was. I thought this can't be happening," said Ashley Milton, 28.
