Man Kills Boss, Self at Grocery Store Warehouse

Police said an employee at a Houston grocery store fatally shot his supervisor in the warehouse attached to the rear of the store before killing himself Monday afternoon.

The shooting happened at the Hong Kong Food Market at the Hong Kong City Mall, which features two floors of businesses, most of which cater to members of Houston's Asian community.

Houston police said they do not yet know a motive.

Francisco Martinez told the Houston Chronicle that he had just backed his 18-wheeler truck up to the dock to deliver groceries when he heard screaming. He then saw people gathered around the manager, who had been shot.

The shooting caused the mall to be evacuated for about an hour and a half. The market, though, remained closed as police investigated.
