Police Chief Scott Mielke told ABC 5 that a woman at the restaurant called 911 at 8.40pm saying that she felt threatened by her husband after telling him that she was leaving him.



She said he was circling the parking lot in his car.

Police arrived, heard gunshots, and saw a man exiting the restaurant with a 'long gun', Mielke said.

Officers ordered the man to drop his weapon, then fatally shot him when he failed to surrender.


Mielke said a woman and a girl were found dead inside, and another girl was taken to hospital with unknown injuries.

Police believe all of the dead were from the same family., but have yet to release names or ages.

Jody McIntosh, a waitress at the restaurant, told ABC 5 that she had left after finishing her shift when a co-worker called to say that someone 'had shot up the place'.
