Police in Killeen, Texas, responded to Killeen Mall after receiving a call at around 7:17 p.m. about a disturbance. When they arrived, they were told one person had been shot, according to Killeen Police Chief Charles Kimble.

Surveillance footage shows the suspect wearing a white hat and a white or light blue face mask. He had one a black jacket, dark blue jeans and white gloves during the time of the alleged attack. “Our first priority is to safely get everyone out of the mall, tend to any injuries, search the mall for any possible additional shooters, and then we will systematically start the investigation. Our investigative units are here to find and locate the suspect,” Kimble said.
Police asked people to stay away from the mall. There is “no longer” an “active shooter” in the area, Killeen Police Public Information Officer Ofelia Miramontez said, CNN reports. The victim who was shot was taken to a local hospital via airlift. The suspect has yet to be detained.
