The robbers started firing into the crowd after an alarm was raised by the store attendants and nearby shop owners.
The attendants Abdulai Awudu and Abudu Abdulai have since been rushed to Zebilla District hospital and are receiving treatment.
The remains of the deceased who was hit by a stray bullet has been deposited at the Zebilla Hospital mortuary.
