Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Police are searching for a gunman and a motive after a Brooklyn store owner was shot and killed Monday afternoon.

The victim, 32-year-old Mohamed Bilal, leaves behind behind a wife and 2-month-old child.

The shooting happened on New Lots Avenue in East New York around 1:30 p.m.

Police say the suspect walked in and opened fire without exchanging any words with Bilal, and that robbery has been ruled out as a motive.

"A guy with a bike, he had on all black, he put his bike right here up against the fence," witness Ron Rogers said. "My understanding, he went and shot the guy, ran to his bike and took off."

1. Guns and ammo in the hands of the public. A spectacularly bad idea.

3. Agree it is not a great idea.

5. Since there are hundreds of millions of guns in

general circulation in the U.S. with billions of rounds of ammunition, what do you suggest be done now?

2. Well, it doesn't take a Mensa member to figure out that was a hit.

The only question is, WHY?

It's not just a "variety" store, it's an internet cafe, and the guy who was murdered repaired computers and phones. The video said that there are video surveillance cameras inside the store; maybe that will help.

The guy was a Pakistani immigrant.

4. I did not even think of that. Hopefully they will find out what happened.
