Heroic pizzeria owner takes bullet for employee shot at by armed husband
A central Florida woman is expected to make full recovery after her husband opened fire on her and her employer at a shopping mall pizzeria.
Jose Garcia Rodriguez, 57, showed up to Scotto Pizza on Saturday morning while his wife, 36-year-old Ida Garcia, was helping open shop.
Jose reportedly arrived with three firearms and a pocket full of ammo, intending to confront Ida. But according to police, Leonardo Coppola, owner and operator of Scotto Pizza, intervened.
Coppola, 36, was shot and killed. At some point during the confrontation, Ida was shot and wounded.
Melbourne police received reports of gunshots at 9:31 a.m. During a Saturday press conference, police said the first responders could hear shots being fired when they arrived.
After firing several shots, Jose reportedly turned the gun on himself. He died at the scene. An estimated 100 people were inside the mall at the time of the shooting.
A police spokesperson expressed his “deepest concern and condolences to the families that were tragically affected.”
Police also speculated the incident started as a domestic dispute between Jose and Ida.
