sitting in the restaurant began shooting at the restaurant owner
and manager, fatally wounding the owner.

The restaurant manager was still alive when paramedics arrived on
the scene. He had, however, sustained severe multiple injuries and
was later declared dead.

Douglasdale police were on the scene, Vermaak said.
