*(Via UPI) – A gunman killed two people early Friday at a Pathmark grocery store in Old Bridge, N.J., before taking his own life, prosecutors said.

Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan said the gunman, an employee who had been working at the store for about two weeks, killed two co-workers before taking his own life, The (Newark) Star-Ledger reported.

Neighbors and a law enforcement source whose name was not reported identified the shooter as Terence S. Tyler, 23, a former Marine, the newspaper said. The two victims were identified as Christina LoBrutto, 18, and Bryan Breen, 24.

Tyler had been working at the store Thursday night but left and came back armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and an automatic pistol.
