WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. — Two people were killed and another was injured Sunday in a shooting at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in central Florida, police said.

Winter Springs police said the shooting broke out while a group of motorcycle riders was eating breakfast at the post before the start of a charity ride.

Investigators said an unknown number of armed men came in and began firing. Witnesses said there had been an argument in the parking lot before the shooting. It is not clear whether anyone shot back at  intruders.

Lieutenant Doug Seely, a police spokesman, said officers detained several people and confiscated a number of weapons. The victims and those detained have not been identified.
