PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — One man was killed and two others were injured after a triple shooting Wednesday afternoon in the parking lot of a Chipotle restaurant located near Palm Beach Gardens, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

Employees at a nearby Olive Garden were training when the shooting occurred, prompting them to duck after hearing the gunshots.

One of the other victims is in critical condition, and the third victim had injuries described as not life-threatening.

Detectives said there is no threat to the community.
