What are these?
Witness Jerry Pritcherd, 20, of Fort Myers, said he heard a pop and didn't realize it was gunshots. He said he was "scared" when he heard about 20 pops and ran out. He said he was 10 feet away from the shooter, who he said was a tall black man wearing a business suit.
According to a witness, all of the victims are customers. After firing off many rounds, the gunman then shot himself and died in the middle of the restaurant. Three victims were flown to area hospitals.
The gunman didn't demand money or say anything, according to a witness. None of the victims were children; two are described as elderly.
The sheriff's violent crimes task force is investigating. They're encouraging everyone who was there to contact investigators.
A father and son, Richard and Richard Anon of Miami, were just leaving a John Smith Subs restaurant across Military Trail when they saw customers running out of the Wendy's. "We thought there was a fight in the parking lot. Everyone was just running out," said the elder Anon
A Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokesman said no motive for the shootings were known Monday afternoon.
In the past year, several random mass shootings in public places have stunned the nation, including the most deadly where 32 people at Virginia Tech were killed in April. Seung hui Cho, the Virginia Tech shooter, also killed himself.
But before Virginia Tech, in February last year, an 18-year-old gunman killed five people and wounded four others at the Trolley Square shopping Center in Salt Lake City.
Following Virginia Tech, two high profile public shootings have hit communities in Omaha and Illinois. In December, eight people were killed at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska before the gunman shot himself.
Most recently, a student shot and killed five people in February at Northern Illinois University before killing himself.
