CASSELBERRY, Fla. (AP) — Police are identifying the gunman accused of killing three women at Florida beauty salon before shooting himself to death at a nearby home.

Casselberry police say the gunman Thursday was 36-year-old Bradford Baumet. Police say he was served with a domestic violence injunction Oct. 9 and was scheduled to be in Orange County court Thursday.

Police spokeswoman Sara Brady says Baumet entered Las Dominicanas M & M Salon in Casselberry shortly after 11 a.m. Two women hid inside a bathroom and one ran outside through a back door. Another woman was wounded and is in the hospital.

Seminole County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Heather Smith says Baumet went to a friend's home in Winter Park and shot himself.

Casselberry is about 15 miles northeast of Orlando.
