"We are not looking for anybody, so the community is not in danger. We are not looking for a shooter, it appears to be an isolated incident, and this is very horrific and unfortunate," Cruz said.
The identities of the man and woman haven't been released. They were the only people in the building at the time of the shooting, Cruz said.
Footage showed several officers at the building, which was closed off by yellow crime scene tape. Multiple police crime scene vehicles were parked outside.
Employees of the business were also seen gathered outside in shock and holding each other for support.

Cruz said investigators are working to determine the possible relationship between the man and woman and their connection with the business.
"There is obviously some association with the business, one of them might have worked here or both of them might have worked here but that's still unconfirmed at the moment," Cruz said.
Del Toro Insurance later released a statement confirming that the woman had worked there.
"A completely unjustifiable crime of passion took place against one of our employees, who was on duty and serving the community. At this time, Del Toro Insurance sends its condolences to the victim's family and reiterates its total condemnation of this abominable act of extreme violence against a young and hard worker woman," the statement read. "We extend our deepest condolences to her loved ones in this sad and difficult time. In the face of this misfortune and the pain that concerns us, the Del Toro employees, through tears, gathered and prayed outside the building to accompany the soul of our beloved colleague. May her memory be honored as she deserves."
