The gunman is reported to have walked into Jordan’s and asked for her wife. He was carrying a present for her. When he was told she was out for lunch, he went to wait outside. While he was waiting, a worker at Jordan’s, named Maria, told WLFI, that she saw him hiding behind some trees. When she saw his ex-wife pull up with her boyfriend, Maria says she went to warn here. The gunman though, sadly got the jump on her, and opened fire on the two people in the car. The identities of the shooter or the victims is not known.
