Two sheriff's deputies have died from their wounds after a gunman opened fire in a restaurant, near a shopping center in Maryland, the sheriff says.
A man shot a sheriff's deputy in the head inside a crowded restaurant at lunchtime Wednesday during a shootout, authorities and witnesses previously said.
The gunman was killed and, remarkably no bystanders were hurt, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said.
CBS Baltimore reports that the suspect has been identified as 67-year-old David Evans. Police say Evans had several warrants out for his arrest.
Both deputies were men. One served 16 years, and the other for 30. Their names have not yet been released, CBS Baltimore reports.
A sheriff's deputy was called to the restaurant after a report about someone causing a problem. The deputy tried to talk to the man, who was apparently known to workers. The deputy sat down beside him, asked how he was doing and the man shot him in the head.
"I saw him fall back out of his chair and the blood started coming out," Faulkner said. "I didn't know how to process it. My mom said, 'What's going on?' and I said, 'Get down, someone just got shot.'"
