On a balmy Friday evening in New York City, 65-year-old Mohammed Jabelli was getting ready

to close up his clothing store for the weekend.

It had been a quiet few days in his Brooklyn neighborhood.

The city had emptied out for the Independence Day holiday, as families took the opportunity

for a long weekend away.

Mohammed looked up with surprise as he heard the bell above the door jangle.

It was five minutes before closing time, and the store had been empty for hours.

Who was coming in at this hour on a holiday Friday?

But when Mohammed saw the moustache man carrying a duffel bag, it all made sense.

Salvatore Perone wasn't the kind of man who celebrated holidays.

Mohammed wouldn't exactly say that he liked Salvatore, but he had known him for almost

two decades.

This and Salvatore had owned a rival clothing store just a few doors down.

He felt bad for him, especially since he knew Salvatore had fallen on hard times.

He forced a smile and greeted Salvatore, but the other man didn't respond.

He kept walking towards Mohammed, a strange blank expression on his face.

Then, without breaking stride, he reached into his bag and pulled out a rifle.
