An employee who was stocking the store overnight told Channel 2’s Steve Gehlbach he was going on his break when he heard gunshots.
Officers arrived and found a man shot on the pavement by one of the store entrances. The shooting took place right in front of at least three security cameras and another mobile security camera in the parking lot.
This is the second shooting outside the store within the last three weeks. On March 22, a 79-year-old man shot a 75-year-old man around 10 a.m. when the shopping center was full of people.
