Two people were shot inside a mall south of Seattle, Washington sending thousands of shoppers running as police evacuated the mall. Witnesses and police say two people were shot and seriously wounded by another man inside the mall. Officers say the suspect and two victims were all either in their late teens or early 20’s. Despite the shots being fired, police say those are the only two victims. Officers rushed to the Southcenter Mall in Tukwila and quickly started getting shoppers out of the mall as they conducted an intensive store-to-store search for the suspect. In addition to police officers, SWAT teams from around the Puget Sound area rushed to mall to find the gunman. Witnesses say the suspect got into some sort of a fight with the two victims and that resulted in the shooting. The two victims were taken to a Seattle trauma center, but their conditions and injuries are not currently known.
