Two people are dead and a woman is in "good" condition after a shooting Saturday morning at the Melbourne Square mall. 
 
 
 
 It happened around 9:30 a.m., in the mall's food court at 1700 W. New Haven Ave. 
 
 Police identified the suspected shooter as Jose Garcia-Rodriguez, 57, of Palm Bay. One of the victims is believed to be the shooter's wife, 33-year-old Idanerys Garcia-Rodriguez. She's listed in good condition. Police said the woman worked at the mall's food court. 
 
 
 
 The other victim who was killed is a male, but his identity hasn't been released. 
 
 
 
 Police said Jose shot Idanerys and the man before shooting himself. Investigators believe he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 
 
 
 
 "This is a tragic event, and I am sending prayers to the family," Melbourne Mayor Kathy Meehan said. 
 
 
 
 The mall was closed for the remainder of the day, but it is expected to reopen Sunday. 
 
 
 
 "We started hearing 'pop, pop,'" said Elizabeth Tickle, who was inside the mall. "I figured somebody was shooting somebody. It's going on all the time now. (How many pop pops did you think you heard?) I think about six. It was a lot. It was a lot." 
 
 
 
 About 100 people were inside the mall at the time gunfire broke out, police said. Gunshots were still being heard when officers arrived to the scene. 
 
 
 
 The shooting is believed to be a domestic violence-related incident, investigators said. 
 
 Neighbors said Jose was a "good guy" and that he was close to his wife and two teenage daughters. 
 
 "It blows my mind," said Nick Csercse Jr., who lives next door to the family. "(Jose) was just a really good guy." 
 
 Another neighbor, Raymond Jacobs, said: "They gave my grandson ice cream. They used to sell ice cream. They were good people. This is just shocking." 
 
 Several agencies, including the FBI, were at the mall Saturday investigating the deadly shooting. Three firearms, all handguns, were found at the mall, police said.

 An angry husband armed with three handguns and his pockets filled with ammo confronted his wife at a Florida mall food court where she worked and opened fire, but the actions of Leonardo Coppola likely saved her life, according to Melbourne Police. 
 
 The 36-year-old Coppola, the owner/operator of Scotto Pizza at Melbourne Square Mall, reportedly tried to intervene when Jose Garcia-Rodriguez, 57, of Palm Bay, showed up and pointed a gun at his 33-year-old wife, Ida Garcia-Rodriguez. 
 
 "We had just gotten our food to sit down by Starbucks and Chick-fil-A, and you just hear the 'pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,' and you just drop everything, and your body just makes you run," witness Donna Evans told the Orlando Sentinel.
