One dead, several injured in US shopping mall shooting – police | |
(35 minutes later) | |
One person has been killed and several others injured during a robbery at a shopping mall in the US city of San Antonio, local police say. Authorities confirmed there were two shooters. One is in custody, and police are searching for the second suspect. | |
The shooting was a robbery which has gone “really really bad,” San Antonio police chief Chief William McManus told reporters. Two suspects robbed a jewelry store at the Rolling Oaks Mall, and while escaping encountered “two citizens who tried to intervene.” | |
One of the them was shot and killed by one of the suspects, while the other bystander, carrying a licensed concealed weapon, shot one of the suspects. | |
The second suspect ran into the mall, subsequently shooting and injuring six other victims. Their condition is yet unknown, and all the injured ”were being transported,” according to the spokesman. | |
All civilians remaining in the mall are secure, while the second suspect is still being sought. | |
The wounded suspect is in police custody, police said. | |
“Today's deadly shooting at Rolling Oaks Mall is a tragedy for everyone involved and all of us affected,” Mayor Ivy Taylor said in a Facebook statement. | |
“As SAPD and Live Oak Police continue to search for a second suspect, ensure the safety of mall employees and shoppers and clear the scene, I ask everyone to remain calm, vigilant, safe and report any info you may have about the suspect who remains at large,” the mayor urged. | |
According to AP, citing unnamed San Antonio officials, the number of victims in the shopping mall shooting has been revised and now reads one dead, five injured - three hurt by gunshots and two with “non-shooting injuries.” |
