EL CAJON – Authorities tried today to determine what drove a man to gun down his estranged wife and wound a 9-year-old bystander at an East County restaurant over the weekend before taking his own life on a nearby freeway.

Jose Gurollo, 31, walked into The Broadway pizzeria in the 1200 block of Fletcher Parkway in El Cajon about 4 p.m. yesterday and confronted 25-year-old Rosalie Gurollo, according to police.

The couple, recently separated, quarreled for a few moments before Jose pulled a gun and shot the woman once in the upper body, killing her.

The assailant also wounded a schoolgirl in the leg before fleeing in a black pickup truck, investigators said. Medics took the child to a hospital , where she was listed in stable condition. The girl had no relationship to the Gurollos.
