Police said the suspect is a white male in his 30s wearing a grey shirt and blue jeans, and is believed to be a former soldier, a veteran of the U.S. military.
Police say the store owner did not know the man. A shootout occurred at the scene as the storekeeper was armed with their own weapon.
Eye witnesses said suspect went into the store at least twice earlier in the day as a customer. He left without incident, but returned later and opened fire.
The suspect is on the run with two AR-15 style rifles, the same weapons he used to open fire inside of the store, and police said they would publicly name him if he is not found soon.
