There were more than 20 people inside the building at the time of the crash, and officials said that reports tell them mere minutes before the car drove into the store, at least five or six people were in the exact spot waiting for coffee where the car eventually came to a stop. The two people who were injured reportedly refused medical treatment. (FOX 10 News Phoenix)
