EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A shooting at a Texas mall that left one person dead and three others wounded began as a confrontation between two groups in the food court, police said Thursday.
The ages of those involved in the fight Wednesday at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso ranged from late teens to early 20s, interim El Paso police Chief Peter Pacillas said.
“This is a random incident that occurred between two groups at the mall,” Pacillas said.
The shooting added to the dozens of people already killed this year in mass shootings across the United States.
