The manager for Quick Mart released the following statement about the incident:
"Quick Mart has been part of our family for almost 30 years. It's sad to know that events like this can happen in our lives. Yesterday afternoon, a random incident took place involving three individuals who weren't our regular customers. They had a confrontation elsewhere and brought it to our store. There were multiple gunshots exchanged, and fortunately, none of our employees, customers, or neighbors were harmed. We empathize with the fear everyone must be experiencing after this incident, as we are feeling it too. While we know that bad things can happen anywhere like schools or shopping centers, we refuse to let fear control us. We're still sending our kids to school and carrying on with our daily routines, despite the shootings happening everywhere on the regular. We remain hopeful that such occurrences won't happen again. We hope that our neighbors and community will continue to support our family-owned small business, which has been a part of the neighborhood for over three decades."
