An Alabama business owner was killed and three others were injured early Wednesday morning after a man allegedly armed with a .22 caliber rifle began shooting in a restaurant, authorities said.
The suspect walked into the City Grill, located in Hurtsboro, and called out the owner, Donny Hughes, 69, by name, Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor said. Once Hughes appeared, the shooter reportedly fired his weapon several times, ultimately killing him.
“The offender walked in, yelled out a name, and at that point, started firing off rounds,” Taylor said during a news conference, according to The Opelika-Auburn News.
The suspect then allegedly fired at patrons who were having breakfast in the restaurant and struck and wounded three of them, the sheriff told Fox News. Two victims remain in the hospital – one is in critical condition in the intensive care unit, while the other is in stable condition following surgery, he said. Another individual reportedly received a flesh wound but was treated and has since been released.
