Preliminary investigation revealed one man, who was killed, and the woman, who was injured, were together having dinner at the bar and were paying their tab, Slinkard said. 

Police stated surveillance video showed the couple was at one end of the bar and the suspect was on the other end of the bar. 

Authorities said after reviewing the video, the suspect got up, went quickly around the bar toward the couple, and started firing rounds. 

The man, who died on the scene, went down along with the female who was with him, Slinkard said. 

After the shooting, authorities said the suspect committed suicide with one self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. 

It's unclear how many shots were fired. One witness, who was inside the restaurant having dinner with her two children, told FOX 26 that multiple shots were fired during the incident.
