On Wednesday, a gunman armed with a handgun and a machine gun ambushed a bodega employee in Queens in a horrible shooting captured on camera.
The Post’s surveillance tape shows the 47-year-old employee of Rockaway Express Deli in South Ozone Park assisting a client from behind the counter at approximately 2:30 p.m. when the suspect runs in and shoots him with a revolver at point-blank range.
According to the footage, the gunman, dressed in all black with a face mask and hat, shoots for the employee’s face and fires at least three times as the man grabs his head and falls behind the counter, screaming.
The culprit flees the store while the victim bleeds profusely from the head, but returns seconds later with a large machine gun, as evidenced by surveillance footage.

The worker had head injuries during the incident.
Before fleeing the business, the shooter aims the machine gun over the counter at the employee still cowering in the corner and fires many times at him.
A 47-year-old employee was hit in the eye, and a 27-year-old guy was shot in the wrist, probably by a bullet fragment or shell casing, according to police.
Both victims received medical care at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.
Police identified the alleged shooter as Donnie Hudson, 35, who resides in an apartment near the deli on Rockaway Boulevard.
Hudson reportedly argued with the store employees before returning with a firearm.
Later that evening, officers arrested him and charged him with attempted murder, criminal possession of a machine gun, criminal possession of a loaded firearm, criminal possession of an ammunition clip, criminal possession of a large-capacity ammo-feeding device, and unlawful possession of ammunition.
