According to a timeline released by the sheriff s office, the gunman had made a purchase at the Publix around 9 a.m. Thursday and returned just before 11:30 a.m. using a golf club putter as a cane.
The gunman watched the victims, who had entered the store around 11:07 a.m., from across the produce section before he shot the child then got into a struggle with the grandmother, officials said. During the struggle, the gunman shoved her to the ground and shot her, before he shot himself.
