The mother went to the store and found a padlock on the door and alerted authorities, the Syeds said. Police and firefighters broke into the store and found the brothers in the basement. The Syeds said they were told by police that both brothers had been shot several times.



"My family was in a state of shock, really, losing two boys in the family. People are shocked to know about this tragedy," Qudrat Syed said.



"They were born here, they were raised here. In fact, they grew up here in this store," he added. "They were loving brothers, taking care of their father, taking care of their business. Very beautiful kids."
