In August 2012 an ex-soldier working at an Old Bridge (NJ) supermarket for two weeks armed himself with an AK-47 and fatally shot two employees, and the killed himself with a handgun. Several employees dialed 911 for help.

Ex-Marine Terence S. Tyler has been identified by Old Bridge Police as the gunman at an Old Bridge supermarket with Marine service records showing he was a rifleman.

The 23 year old Tyler had worked at the Pathmark for about 2 weeks on the overnight shift with his two unidentified victims according to WABC TV.

Capt. Kendra Motz, spokeswoman for Marine Corps. says service records for Terence S. Tyler show that he served from March 24, 2008 to Feb. 27, 2010. Terence Tyler’s rank at the time of discharge was Lance Corporal.

Terence Tyler’s military occupational specialty was listed as a rifleman; he was in the infantry, Motz confirms. Tyler’s honors include a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the National Defense Service Metal. The military’s records show his home town was listed as in Brooklyn New York.

Tyler’s Facebook page has a cryptic message as his profile picture: “Be Optimistic. All the people you hate are going to eventually die” followed by a smiley face. His page is configured to not allow anyone but friends to see his wall and photos.

Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan says the 23-year-old man opened fire on employees he saw when he walked in, killing an unidentified 18 year old female and a 24 year old male.

The unidentified gunman also fired 2 shots at the store’s windows, shattering them. 16 shots were fired and an AK-47, extra ammunition and a handgun were found at the scene. The motive is
being investigated.

24 year old male and 18 year old female was killed.

A supermarket employee carried out a pre-dawn shooting at the New Jersey supermarket where his colleagues were working, killing two, officials say.

Terence Tyler, 23, left the store in Old Bridge at 03:30 EST (7:30 GMT) and returned half an hour later with a handgun and an AK-47-style rifle.

A local prosecutor said the gunman fired at the first people he saw.

An 18-year-old woman and 24-year-old man were killed before the gunman ended the rampage by shooting himself.

They were identified as Cristina LoBrutto and Bryan Breen on Friday afternoon.

There were at least 12 people in the store in Old Bridge, a suburb about 25 miles (40km) from New York.

People were stocking shelves before the grocery shop opened, and many of those inside hid as the shooting began.

At least 16 rounds were fired, Mr Kaplan said, some breaking the front windows.

The prosecutor said the motive for the attack was still under investigation.

Officials confirmed Tyler was a former marine, discharged in 2010.

He moved to Old Bridge in June 2012, after living in southern California after the discharge. He had only been employed at the store since 20 August.

"This is the worst phone call a mayor can receive," Old Bridge Mayor Owen Henry told the New Jersey Star-Ledger newspaper. "You can prepare for these things but you can't prevent them."

Police evacuated the shop after the shooting and several of the employees were taken across the road to a restaurant.

The shooting is the latest in a series of firearm incidents in the US. Earlier this month a man opened fire at a Sikh temple in the state of Wisconsin, killing six people before police shot him in the abdomen. The gunman then killed himself, the FBI concluded.
