2 killed in robbery at S. Florida grocery store

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say two customers at a South Florida grocery store were shot and killed by two masked men with semi-automatic handguns.

Delray Beach Police say two men with bandanas over their faces opened fire early Sunday inside Community Market. Two customers were hit.

According to police, the men then demanded cash from the register and then fled the store. It wasn't immediately clear how much money they took.

Police say one customer died at the scene and the other died at a hospital. Neither victim has been identified.

"He always went there every morning to have his coffee and pick up his cans," said Martha Hunter, the cousin of 68-year-old Alfonso Hunter, one of the two victims of today's shooting. "He did not deserve this," she added, fighting back tears.

Officer Jeffrey Messer tells the Sun Sentinel that the robbery is similar to one that took place two blocks away on Saturday.
