A McDonald's employee in Lodi, California, allegedly shot a co-worker inside the restaurant Monday morning before the armed suspect was killed when responding officers confronted him, authorities said.

The Lodi Police Department said officers responded to the McDonald's on West Lodi Avenue at approximately 9:30 a.m. after dispatchers received a report of an armed suspect inside the restaurant. Upon arrival, officers heard gunfire coming from inside and discovered an employee who had been shot, according to police.

Officers moved toward the sound of gunfire and encountered the armed suspect, leading to an officer-involved shooting, police said. The suspect, identified by authorities as 29-year-old Lodi resident Jonhatan Anguiano, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The wounded employee, a woman, was taken to a local hospital, where she was in stable condition, according to police. Authorities later confirmed that Anguiano and the wounded woman were both employees of the McDonald's, KCRA reported. Police have not disclosed a possible motive or detailed what led up to the shooting. Shootings involving current or former co-workers fall under workplace violence, which the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks as a subset of occupational fatalities involving intentional injuries by another person.

The restaurant remained closed Tuesday, with traffic cones blocking its parking lot as a cleaning company's van sat outside, the outlet reported.

Lodi City Councilmember Cameron Bregman, who lives about a block from the restaurant, told the outlet the violence was troubling for the small community.

"Number one, it's unacceptable. But number two, it's scary that crime hits so close to home," Bregman said. "Lodi is better than this. And we should be better than this."

Bregman also urged residents to wait for investigators to establish what happened as different accounts of the shooting circulated locally.

"The best thing I can do is let the police do the work and let the police release the reports," he said.

The shooting is being investigated under the San Joaquin County Officer Involved Critical Incident Protocol, with members of the Lodi Police Department, the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office, and the California Department of Justice participating in the investigation. Such protocols are commonly used in California for officer-involved shootings, routing the review through an independent multi-agency process rather than the department whose officers fired their weapons. The California Department of Justice also investigates certain officer-involved shootings under state law.

Authorities said the investigation remains ongoing and additional information will be released as it becomes available.
