News 12 talked with the owner of the deli, who says he wasn't there, but some of his employees were.
"Of course we get nervous. This is very big that happened but people who work here are scared and nervous," says owner Mohammad Afzaal. "The inside guy called me and said someone got shot at the store.”
Afazaal says he was shocked.
"I'm here in this business almost 18 years and we never had that happen," he says.
The scene is just blocks away from two schools. The Huntington School District canceled all evening activities and programs in response.
