"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."

"...a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation identified him as Terence Tyler, an ex-Marine who was discharged in 2010. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because his agency is not in charge of the investigation.

Tyler, an infantryman, never served overseas, said Marine spokeswoman Capt. Kendra Motz.

She wouldn't comment on the circumstances of his discharge. Tyler's home of record was Brooklyn."

This guy showed up ready and able to inflict maximum damage - if not for quick thinking by a store manager who got most people out the back door of the store - this could have been much worse.

Not that this is any consolation to the families of the two young people killed.
