After the suspected assailant got back in the vehicle, the driver left the window and then drove around to the front of the eatery before accelerating into a group of people and then into the glass doors.

Emergency personnel treated two people at the scene, and a third was taken to a local hospital. The sheriff’s office does not believe the third victim’s injuries are life threatening.
