By the end of the day, five lay dead in the supermarket: three civilians and the two gunmen, Kelly said. No civilians were hit outside the store.Czech hospital shooting: Suspect dead after killing 6 and wounding 3 As the sun set on the day of shocking violence, city officials and police across North Jersey mourned the dead officer.
