A waitress was fatally shot Friday morning inside a Bob Evans Restaurant along U.S. Route 62 in Canton. The incident took place around 9:30 AM inside the Lesh Street Northeast location. Authorities say a man, indentified as 54-year-old Richard Nelson, apparently walked into the establishment, went behind a counter, and shot his ex-girlfriend 38-year-old Rebecca Jean Rogers, who was a waitress. Rogers was shot multiple times, and was taken to a nearby hospital where she later died. Police arrested Nelson last night at around 8:30 PM. No one else was injured in the incident. Authorities say that it appears to be a domestic dispute.
