A woman also was wounded in the shooting. Witnesses said she was at the grocery with her son, and ran across the street to his preschool after she was shot.

At the time of the shooting, police said a video camera at a nearby business captured the gunman fleeing the scene, but police did not say if that video specifically led them to Embry.
