Authorities are investigating a robbery and shooting that left one person dead and another injured early Saturday in the city of Lemon Grove on the outskirts of San Diego, California.

According to reports, one suspect waited outside the front door of the 7-Eleven at 7607 Broadway shortly after 2 a.m. while a second suspect, armed with a sawn-off rifle, entered the business and shot a customer and the clerk.
