Police. Capt. Frederick van Wyk wrote in an email Thursday that the shooter went to the restaurant and spoke to his female partner on Wednesday evening. He says the 33-year-old constable opened fire during the altercation, injuring her and two employees in the airport food court. He then shot himself.
