2 people killed, 1 wounded in Florida shooting

MIAMI (AFP) - Two people were killed and a third critically wounded when a firefight broke out at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Florida, the Orlando Sentinel reported on Sunday.

Lieutenant Doug Seely, a spokesman for the police in the town of Winter Springs north of Orlando, told the Sentinel that a confrontation in the parking lot preceded the shooting.
