Two customers killed in grocery store hold-up in Palm Beach

 

Two customers at a grocery store in Delray Beach were shot and killed Sunday morning when two men burst in and began spraying bullets from semi-automatic handguns at employees and customers, police said.

One of the homicide victims was found dead at Community Market, 945 W. Atlantic Ave., in Palm Beach and the other died 90 minutes later at Delray Medical Center, according to Delray police. Neither has been identified.

Responding to a 5:57 a.m. call of a shooting, officers were told that two armed men, both with bandanas over their faces, entered the store and immediately opened fire. After the two customers were hit, the gunmen demanded cash from the register and pistol whipped an employee as he attempted to open the register, said police.
