    2 dead, 5 injured in Wendy's shooting

    WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A gunman burst into a Wendy's restaurant Monday, killing one person and injuring five others before killing himself, officials said.

    Palm Beach County sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera said three of the survivors were in critical condition. Two others had minor injuries, but it was unclear if they were shot.
    "I just saw a lady with a little boy in her arms come running out screaming, 'Somebody's shooting!'" said Sandra Jackson, who had been getting gas across the street. The woman said her husband was still inside, said Jackson, 43, of Palm Springs.

    Several people were carried away from the restaurant on stretchers. Authorities did not identify the shooter or the victims.
    Ashley Milton, 28, said she had just opened the door to get lunch when she heard the "pop pop" of gunfire and saw people running.
    "I really didn't think that's what it was. I thought this can't be happening," she said. "You see your life flash before your eyes."

    Geezuz this stuff is troubling news. Too bad this psyco was sucessfull in offing himself. Better justice would see him sharing a cellblock with big Bubba for 40 to life.

    I was just a few blocks away from that Wendys a couple of weeks ago. Before that, I was just blocks from that place in Tampa where the trucker was shot to death in his sleeper. Before that, I missed the I-4 pileup by coming thru just hours before it happened. Rough state......

    I believe in cases like this, extreme torture would be in order. If the butt-clown managed to be aprehended before he shot himself, then he should be thrown in a cell naked... where people could pay 50 cents to poke a needle in him ANYWHERE they wanted. Once he was all filled up, if he was still kickin', then pull all the needles out with a humongous electro-magnet, pour some salt and vinegar on him and throw him to the sharks for a tasty snack.:biggrin_25510:
