Gunman kills 3, self in Florida salon shooting

CASSELBERRY, Fla. — A gunman opened fire in a central Florida beauty salon Thursday, killing three women and wounding a fourth before killing himself at a nearby home, police said. The shooting appeared to be part of a domestic dispute.

The gunman, identified by police as Bradford Baumet, was served with a domestic violence injunction Oct. 9 and scheduled to be in Orange County court Thursday for a hearing with the salon’s manager, Marcia Santiago, who took out the restraining order. Their relationship was not immediately clear.

Comments

Its sad that people were killed. All of this could be avoided if the courts were more sensitive to the situations. Maybe its time to re think the way we go about serving restraining orders. At the will of the woman a man gets thrown out of the house no questions asked. The result, dead people. Here the Court (judge) should be implicated for murder.
