    quote:Updated at 10:23 a.m. ET: Three people are dead after an employee shot and killed two coworkers before turning the gun on himself at a New Jersey supermarket Friday morning, authorities said.

    Police said the shooting happened Friday just before 4 a.m. inside a Pathmark grocery store on Route 9 in Old Bridge, N.J., a suburb about 25 miles from New York.



    Rich Schultz / AP Police investigate a shooting at a Pathmark grocery store on Route 9 in Old Bridge, N.J., on Friday.

    The victims were an 18-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, both from Old Bridge. The gunman was 23 years old. All three were working the night shift at the Pathmark with 12 to 14 other employees. The store was closed at the time, scheduled to open at 6 a.m.

    Get the latest on the supermarket shooting from BreakingNews.com

    Police believe the suspect may have gotten into an argument with a coworker at the Pathmark before he allegedly left the store around 3:30 a.m., and retrieved an AK-47 and a handgun from his car.

    Store employees told authorities that when they saw the suspect returning with weapons, they locked the doors to the supermarket. The gunman then shot out the windows and went inside and fired at least 16 shots at different places in the store, police said, killing two people. He then killed himself.

    Police said the victims were not necessarily targeted. They are currently investigating the motive for the shooting. Some employees ran out of the back of the store to escape.

    No shots were fired by police when they arrived to the scene.Thankfully


    Law enforcement officials said the gunman was a former Marine and an Old Bridge resident. He had been working at the store for about two weeks. Police said he may have had a history of depression and mental illness.



    NBC News An aerial view of the Pathmark supermarket in Old Bridge, N.J., where a shooting that occurred at about 4 a.m. Friday left three people, including the gunman, dead.

    Employees who were in the store at the time of the shooting congregated later in the morning outside a TGI Friday's restaurant in the shopping center where the supermarket is located.

    New Jersey Transit closed its nearby park-and-ride lot, the Associated Press reported.

    News chopper footage showed heavily armed police on the ground outside the supermarket and several windows broken.

    SWAT teams had set up a command post in the parking lot of a nearby restaurant.

    The store was closed Friday. Pathmark officials had no immediate comment on the shooting.

    Why is it so important to say he was a Former Marine.

    Evidently the same reason you had to insert THANKFULLY after the sentence noting the police fired no shots.

    So as to give him some sort of identity.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    This is not a rhetorical question - can you even own an AK type rifle in New Jersey? Even hollowpoint ammunition is illegal there for citizens.

    All military veterans who have experienced depressiion, fatigue, PTSD, tiredness, or headaches are required to surrender their weapons to the authorities at once... [V]

    I could never understand this. Why don't these people off themselves first, instead of later?
