Pathmark Shoot-Out in New Jersey: Several Dead

Tyler was armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and an automatic pistolm, he opened fire inside the store early this morning, killing LoBrutto and Breen before turning one of the weapons on himself.

As reported by the NJ Starledger:

LoBrutto is from Old Bridge and had just graduated from high school in June. Last night was the first time she’d been scheduled to work an overnight shift at the local supermarket, her friend said.

Breen is also from Old Bridge and had was also an Old Bridge High School graduate. He’d completed his studies there a few years ago, and was attending Middlesex County College, a friend said. He was also working at the Pathmark on Route 9 in Old Bridge early this morning.

Neighbors and a law enforcement source identified the shooter as Terence Tyler, 23, a former Marine.

Accounts of the shooting paint a portrait of an employee who smashed into the front of the store, and then began aiming at coworkers while some of them managed to escape out the back of the supermarket, said Dragan Jovanovic, general manager of the Staples next to Pathmark.

About 7 a.m. Jovanovic couldn’t get into the parking lot – so he went into a nearby McDonald’s. There, he found a shaken Pathmark employee who described the beginning of the rampage and how he escaped the shooter.

Friends and family have organized a candlelight vigil at sundown.
