About a mile away, a wild gunfight unfolded earlier this month between police and two shooters, David N. Anderson and Francine Graham, at a kosher grocery store. The shooters and three civilians inside the store were killed. Police said Anderson and Graham killed a city detective at a cemetery before opening fire at the kosher store.
