Jewelry Store Owner Shoots Employee, Then Kills Self


Story out of Coral Springs Florida:

The owner of a jewelry and watch repair shop shot and wounded one of his employees, then killed himself Saturday morning during an incident that temporarily closed Coral Square Mall.

Gus Kiriazis, 59, who owns Fast-Fix, came into the store and shot Sabas Antonio Ferrer, 52, a store employee, police said. Kiriazis then turned the gun on himself, said Detective Ernesto Bruna, Coral Springs police spokesman.

Ferrer was taken to North Broward Health in Deerfield Beach, Bruna said. He was listed in stable condition Saturday night.

Employees and customers were evacuated and the mall was placed on lockdown after the shooting shortly before 10 a.m. Police guarded each entrance with automatic weapons drawn as hordes of customers and employees waited in the parking lot.

At around 11:30 a.m., police said the western quadrant of the mall would remain closed as the investigation continued. Most of the mall, however, was reopened to holiday shoppers. Macy's, on the mall's western edge, was open, but its entrance into the mall corridors was blocked. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
