The officer found the victim unresponsive on the floor in the employee section with several gunshot wounds."We know at least five shots were fired from a semi-automatic weapon since we found five spent shell casings on the floor," said Chief Inspector Scott Small with the Philadelphia Police Department. "The shell casings were just a few feet away from where we found the victim lying on the floor in the employee section.
Now, they're trying to determine how this all played out and how the suspect got into the employee section behind the counter. "The cash register is open and there are several bills on the floor. There's a possibility that this was some sort of robbery that took place," Small added.They said there are several cameras inside and outside the store, so they'll be reviewing video in hopes of getting a description of the shooter.
