Forget clogged arteries, food just got a whole lot more dangerous

At least 2 people are dead today after a gunman opened fire at a West Palm Beach Wendy's during lunch.

According to ABC News, the gunman, who shot himself, first shot and killed a man standing by the railing near the front counter. He then proceeded to shoot several other patrons inside, hitting at least 4 others.

The condition of the other victims has not be released, nor is information about the connection the shooter may have had to the victims or the restaurant, according to the Associated Press.

Bob Bertini, Wendy's spokesman in Dublin, Ohio says the restaurant where the shooting took place is company owned and the chain is cooperating with the sheriff's office. "This is a terrible and sad day for our restaurant and for this community," Bertini said. "It was a senseless tragedy."

If you're in West Palm Beach (or traveling there soon), it's the Wendy's at Military Trail and Cherry Rd., 1376 N. Military Trail.

When we think of West Palm Beach we think of money, security and upscale lifestyle - not a shooting at Wendy's.

When we think of WPB we think of the homicide rate which is sky rocketing thanks to the many guns in the hands of many Florida nuts.

I set up Hands Up Holidays with the passion to create amazing vacations where people got to learn about other cultures, explore a destination, and interact meaningfully with the locals, through the medium of carefully consulted volunteer projects. Families do indeed get a lot out of our trips, as do couples, single travellers, and seniors. Yours in Adventures That Count Chris "

Right now the agencies are still dealing with a lot of paperwork to get into Myanmar. However, once they are in, they need names and applications on file so they can call on you when they are ready to go. If your vacation dates are more structured, why don't you contact an agency which runs volunteer programs all the time, you'll be able to make a difference somewhere without driving your boss nuts waiting to find out when you're going. Good luck!"
