It wasn't immediately clear what sparked the shooting, but authorities said they believe the incident may have been a workplace shooting. It was also unknown if the gunman killed himself or was shot by authorities.
Law enforcement officials said the gunman was a former Marine and an Old Bridge resident. He worked at the store for about two weeks, Henry said.
Employees who were in the store at the timeof the shooting congregated later in the morning outside a TGI Friday's restaurant in the shopping center where the supermarketis housed.
The store was closed at the time. New JerseyTransit closed its nearby park-and-ride lot, the AP said.
