Documents state 49-year-old Benjamin S. Jeffery and 19-year-old Annasue Rocha, both of Elkhart, were killed by a lone gunman, identified as 54-year-old Juan M. Sanchez, at around 5:45 p.m. in the Martin’s Supermarket on E. Jackson Boulevard in Elkhart.

Rocha was a Martin's employee, while Jeffery was a customer at the time of the attack.

Authorities say the gunman fired several shots inside the store, which caused several more people to be in significant danger.

Documents state Sanchez then exited the store and was confronted by two Elkhart police officers, identified as Corporal Paul Vandenburg and Patrolman Ethan Pasternak.

Police say Sanchez fired multiple times at the officers, who responded by fatally shooting him in the parking lot of the Riverpoint West Apartments.

Both Vandenburg and Pasternak were struck by the suspect's gunfire and are recovering from their injuries.

Pasternak remains hospitalized at this time in fair and stable condition, while Vandenburg's since been released.

Authorities say Sanchez had moved to the area within the past year from Illinois.

The Elkhart County Homicide Unit is investigating the incident, including the actions of the Sachez and the actions of the police officers.

Police say the investigation remains active with the collection of numerous types of evidence, witness interviews, and the gathering of background information underway.

As the investigation is ongoing, authorities ask that anyone with additional information call 574-295-2825.
