One person was killed and three wounded on Wednesday in a shooting at a shopping mall in El Paso, Texas, close to a Walmart where 23 people were killed in a racist attack targeting Hispanic people in 2019.
El Paso police said two people had been taken into custody. Details of what led to the shooting remained unclear.
The interim El Paso police chief, Peter Pacillas, said the Cielo Vista Mall was still considered a crime scene, and would remain locked down until authorities had completed their investigation.
“There is no more danger. I want to repeat that: There is no more danger to the public,” Pacillas said.
The shooting took place across a large parking lot from the Walmart where 23 people were killed in 2019.
