However, details surrounding the shooting remain scant, he added. Local media reported a heavy presence of police and emergency personnel at the mall, located about 10 miles north of downtown Columbia, the state capital.
There were no deaths in the incident, which occurred around 2:00 p.m. local time and where 10 people were hit by gunfire. Eight of them were transferred to hospitals in the area and of which, two were in critical but stable condition. Meanwhile, two other people were injured in a “stampede” of bystanders who were running for safety.
The ages of the shooting victims ranged from 73 to 15 years old, it was reported.
At least three people were also found to be carrying firearms inside the mall and at least one of them fired a gun, Holbrook said. Three individuals were arrested in connection with the shooting, said.
