MELBOURNE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man had "several pockets full of ammunition" when he targeted his wife in a shooting Saturday morning that killed two people at a mall food court, police said.

Jose Garcia Rodriguez, 57, of Palm Bay, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at Melbourne Square Mall, said Cmdr. Vince Pryce of Melbourne Police. His 33-year-old wife, Ida, was hospitalized with a gunshot wound in good condition, Pryce said

"The survivor is the intended victim," he said. Around 100 people were in the mall preparing to open their stores for shoppers at 10 a.m. when officers responded to reports of multiple gunshots around 9:30 a.m.

"We were still hearing shots when the first officers arrived on scene," Pryce said. Another man died in the shooting. His name was not released, and Pryce said his relationship to the Garcias remained under investigation. Three handguns were recovered from the scene. When officers found the three victims, Garcia "had several pockets full of ammunition," Pryce said.

"We believe this may stem from a domestic violence incident," he said. Mall officials posted a statement to Facebook, saying the mall would remain closed until further notice while police continued their investigation. Pryce said authorities planned for the mall to reopen Sunday.

Local television news broadcasts showed yellow police tape stretched across a mall entrance and parking lot. Donna Evans of Melbourne said she was in the food court when she heard gunfire about 20 feet to 25 feet away.

"We had just gotten our food to sit down by Starbucks and Chik-fil-A, and you just hear the 'pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,' and you just drop everything and your body just makes you run," Evans told Florida Today (http://on.flatoday.com/1KSm3jr).

:facepalm :down

That sucks. You hope he killed a rapeist or something before offing himself

57 married to 33 yr old :thought

Maybe he found out she was Tinder-banging Ghettinaids08 :shocker

What the fuck is wrong with people

Basically.

If shitty people didn't exist then very few people would need guns but it wouldn't matter if everyone had them.

Just last night I went outside to meet this girl and walk her in to my place. It was around 2... I noticed someone walking in the yard about 2 houses down and when he saw me he turned and took off running. :wtf I am not used to seeing shit like that. Obviously trying to break into and steal shit and it's a good neighborhood. I Saw a cop driving through earlier which is weird but I wish he'd have been there right then so I could have flagged him down. People who steal from other people are fucking scum

Looks like you need a moat to go with those iron fences. :sadyes

Or a pack of racist dobermans

Aren't you a gun nut? Where's your nickel plated pistol at?

No im not. I like shooting shotguns but I don't own any guns

Libtard!

My cousin just built an AR. It's fucking sweet. I'm looking forward to shooting that thing. I better get to anyway

I was at work

two miles from this when it happened

I hope he doesn't let your libtarded pussy ass

The problem is you can make the laws. I won't have my gun anymore. Smiths wouldn't have his anymore. Sell, kW, muck, md, ck, RoeTied, (if they have guns) they wouldn't have their guns anymore. BUT the people that you want to remove the guns from... They're called CRIMINALS. They would ignore the laws like they do now and still have guns. So then if they attack it's still waiting on the cops, or if they attack our homes we don't have guns to defend. We might not even get the chance to call the cops to try and hide from them shooting at us for 10 minutes hoping the cops get there in time.



So until you get the criminals to become law abiding citizens and the crazies to not be crazy then youre just hurting the law abiding citizens. Pretty simple

:biglol

I knew you'd like that :lolthumb

I have voted in every election (since turning 18) for the good guys every time. Except for local judges while I was still breaking the law on a regular basis cuz liberal judges are fucking pussies :dog

Soooo fuck you. And this gun has no serial number so don't piss me off! :lol:

A girl I am talking to was there when it happened in the food court. She works at the Chik Fil A like 20 feet from where it happened.

So what's the skinny on the wifey who got popped? Mall employee? Or was she meeting you at the food court for a Tinder date?
