EVERETT – A tense standoff with a man who sent bullets flying inside and out of a convenience store Monday ended when the man shot and killed himself.

No one else was injured in the shooting at the ARCO AM PM at 4030 Rucker Avenue, which began around 11 a.m. when an armed Ogum Jacob Lomoro arrived at the store and took several shots at his estranged wife, who had stopped at the business to get a cup of coffee.

The pair was involved in an active custody dispute over three children.

While several people nearby ran, the woman and an employee locked themselves in a store office while two beverage vendors hid inside the cooler, from where they called 9-1-1.

 They were able to stay on the phone with a dispatcher throughout the whole incident.

Lomoro then came out and began shooting the woman's car before reloading and going back into the store and apparently shooting himself.

The incident ended around 12:15 p.m. when a police tactical team entered the business and found Lomoro dead.

A man who terrorized people inside an AM PM store in Everett Monday, March 6, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

At some point, the woman and several others fled to a nearby home once they were able to escape from the store.

"She was frantic. She was in shock. She was kind of shaking and crying," said Kimberly Mathers, who was in the home.

Police say the woman shot at was the mother of a child at Cascade High School and police initially believed Lomoro might have gone to the school after the shooting. The school was locked down as a precaution.

The woman had been granted a temporary restraining order against her ex-husband last June, saying she feared for her life and that he had threatened to kill her.

Court records show there was an ongoing dispute over parenting of three children, ages 13, 15 and 17.

Police say they did not fire any shots during the incident or use any force. During the standoff, they cleared a two-block area immediately around the store.
