NEW YORK--A shooting at a Home Depot store in Manhattan's Flatiron District left two employees dead Sunday afternoon in what police said was a murder-suicide.

A 31-year-old employee from Brooklyn who wasn't scheduled to work Sunday walked into the store at about 2:45 p.m. and shot the store manager in the abdomen and chest with a .38-caliber revolver, authorities said.

The gunman was found dead in an aisle of the store after apparently killing himself, police said.

The manager, a 38-year-old man from the Bronx, died at a hospital shortly after the shooting, according to police.

The shooting didn't follow any apparent dispute between the workers, police said.
