West Palm Beach News

Forget clogged arteries, food just got a whole lot more dangerous

At least 2 people are dead today after a gunman opened fire at a West Palm Beach Wendy's during lunch.

According to ABC News, the gunman, who shot himself, first shot and killed a man standing by the railing near the front counter. He then proceeded to shoot several other patrons inside, hitting at least 4 others.

The condition of the other victims has not be released, nor is information about the connection the shooter may have had to the victims or the restaurant, according to the Associated Press.

Bob Bertini, Wendy's spokesman in Dublin, Ohio says the restaurant where the shooting took place is company owned and the chain is cooperating with the sheriff's office. "This is a terrible and sad day for our restaurant and for this community," Bertini said. "It was a senseless tragedy."

If you're in West Palm Beach (or traveling there soon), it's the Wendy's at Military Trail and Cherry Rd., 1376 N. Military Trail.

When we think of West Palm Beach we think of money, security and upscale lifestyle - not a shooting at Wendy's.

Seems like these stories are making the headlines these days. Wonder if they're just being reported more, or if random shootings are increasing?

When we think of WPB we think of the homicide rate which is sky rocketing thanks to the many guns in the hands of many Florida nuts.
