The entrance to the Superfresh grocery store in the shopping plaza appeared to have sustained extensive damage, with broken glass and pieces of brick wall strewn around the store’s entrance, which was cordoned off by police.
Just a few feet from the damaged façade was a damaged Hyundai, its front covered in broken glass, its bumper missing and its driver’s door leaning against a bollard that lines the sidewalk in front of the store’s entrance.
