Columbia (United States) (AFP) – Three people were killed in a shooting at a popular shopping mall in a suburb of the US capital, authorities said Saturday.
Howard County Police, which announced the fatalities via Twitter, said the suspected shooter at the Columbia Mall was among the dead.
“Police are in mall to clear people out safely,” it tweeted. “Mall is believed to be secure, but people inside should wait for police.”
Authorities were alerted by an emergency call to police at 1615 GMT that indicated shots were fired, it said.
“Police made entry and found three dead, one found near a gun and ammunition,” it tweeted.
It did not immediately provide more details on the other victims or on the motive of the shooting.
Earlier news reports had said that the mall, located in Columbia, Maryland, about 45 minutes outside Washington, was on “lockdown” because of an “active shooter situation.”
The mall of about 200 stores is a popular weekend destination for families and young children for its indoor carousel and play area.
The Baltimore Sun newspaper said shoppers reported hearing gunfire before fleeing the upscale mall, home to several department stores such as Lord & Taylor, Macy’s and Nordstrom.
NBC television spoke to one man who said he was in phone contact with his daughter, who was taking shelter in a Bank of America inside the shopping center, along with dozens of others.
The young woman described a chaotic scene as shoppers were told to evacuate or quickly take shelter.
“People were panicking,” the man said.

Assuming the cops did not kill the shooter, then that means an armed
citizen within the mall did. Thank God for the 2nd Amendment and
armed lawful citizens to the rescue. Of course the
shooter could have killed himself; they often do.
This stinks..here’s why.
1. The ‘shooter’ is dead. Was he really the shooter? They just found a dead guy with weapons.
2. Columbia mall is owned by :General Growth Properties founded by… Martin Bucksbaum and Matthew Bucksbaum (both ‘jewish’)

Looks like yet another mossad false flag to try and get us to give up our weapons. To me, the clincher is the dead shooter…now they can make up whatever crap they want.
Whatcha want to bet the security cameras were ‘off’ or ‘not working’
Not buying this one bit!

Excellent work! Frank Lowy is cheering from the sidelines on this one this time. Guess he doesn’t want to look too obvious?

That makes two of us, Flek.
My first thought when I saw this was “What patsy/fanatic/ethnic/religious group are they going to blame THIS one on?”
It’s not been announced – so far.
It’s the terrorists: RUN
LOL
