Police shot and killed a man who came armed into a downtown Orlando Wahlburgers restaurant Wednesday morning, the Orlando Police Department said.

Police did not identify the man. A person in the Wahlburgers had a domestic violence injunction against him, Orlando Police Deputy Chief Eric Smith said.

“To have a person downtown armed with a gun is a very dangerous situation,” Smith said.

The man came into Wahlburgers at 200 S. Orange Ave. just after the restaurant opened at 11 a.m., Smith said. Patrons called 911, and employees called police as they followed the man out of the restaurant. Several officers surrounded the man at Hughey Avenue and told him to drop his weapon, Smith said.

He did not, and officers fired at him, Smith said.
