“Three managers were shot inside the store. I heard probably five shots, and this is the offices on the second level,” said one employee.

With an active shooter on the run for hour hours, the Nassau Police descended on the West Hempstead neighborhood, locking down schools and colleges while searching for a shooter armed with a small handgun, wearing all black.

Police released a picture of the 31-year-old person of interest, Gabriel Dewitt Wilson, who was found at a Terrace Avenue, Hempstead apartment by the Nassau Police SWAT team.

Two other employees, gunshot victims, were taken to hospitals, conscious and alert, spoke with law enforcement.
