Deputies reportedly said about six suspects broke the store’s windows and cases, with tools that appeared to be crowbars. Then gunfire broke out inside as they left. The sheriff's office said the business owner fired at least once toward the suspects. It’s not known if any of them were hit.
Police reportedly said it’s “presumed” there was return gunfire, but it’s too early in the investigation to confirm.
