Source: The Independent

Authorities were searching for a man who shot and killed two people in a drug store parking lot near the TPC Sawgrass, leading The Players Championship to delay opening gates for the third round on Saturday morning.

St. Johns County Sheriff Rob Hardwick said the suspect, whom he identified as Christian Barrios, shot two people multiple times at around 10:30pm on Friday in the parking lot of Walgreens in a domestic violence situation.

The store is located about a mile away from the course that is hosting the event which is due to conclude on Sunday.

He said canine units pursued Barrios onto TPC Sawgrass property. Hardwick added that Barrios, who turned 32 on Saturday, at one point picked up a PGA Tour radio and later dropped it.
