While it's unclear at this time what led to the shooting, video showed investigators examining gloves, glass, napkins and other pieces of evidence.
The Action Emergency employee also told NBC10 Boston the shooting happened outside the store, but the victims ran inside for cover.
The victims were hospitalized with serious injuries, according to police.
"Something like this is sad, and during the holidays makes it worse," said Carmine Capachietti, who's with Action Emergency.
"They could've handled this elsewhere. Not put other people's life at risk. For example, people at the gym, there's a lot of people here that day," said Ignaury Ortega, a witness.
Police said this incident was targeted and that there's no threat to the public. Anyone with information is asked to call 781-595-2000.
