The men opened fire, hitting Waul several times and killing him on the spot.
Bystanders were also shot as well as a motorist who was driving his daughter to school.
The incident caused several businesses to close their doors for the day.
Some operators also raised concern about the incidence of violent crimes and called on the police to increase their presence.
