LOS ANGELES, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Two men died and a woman was wounded on Friday in a shooting at a crowded restaurant in Tucson, Arizona.

A man and a woman were having dinner in the restaurant before another man came in and confronted the two, reported local KOLD News 13 television.

Several eyewitnesses said they heard 10 shots before the shooter turned his gun on himself.

More witnesses said the scene was chaotic and that people had to hide under the tables before waiters ushered them out through the back door.

Both men died from gunshot wounds and the woman was shot in the leg and was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, said Cody Gress, the spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

The shooting took place around 7:30 p.m. time (0230 GMT, Saturday), he said.

The sheriff's department did not release the victims' identities, saying it was still an active crime scene and the department has yet to interview many people.
