Three people are dead after a shooting Wednesday night in the parking lot of a Florida restaurant, ActionNewsJax in Jacksonville reports.

Deputies were called to Corky Bell's Seafood & Steaks at Gator Landing in East Palatka just before 7 p.m. Wednesday, according to Hancel Woods of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office. ActionNewsJax has learned that a man apparently killed his ex-girlfriend and the man she was with. That shooter then killed himself, deputies said.

The family of the woman killed has identified her as Detret Burley. Burley's family said she is a twin and owned an event-planning company. She was the mother of five children ranging in ages from 5 to 19.

Burley's family identified the male victim as Travis Hall, and Hall's family confirmed to ActionNewsJax that he was having dinner with Burley at the restaurant. ActionNewsJax is working to confirm the identity of the gunman.
