The second suspect ran into the mall, subsequently shooting and injuring six other victims. All civilians who remained in the mall were secure, while the second suspect was being sought, the Police chief told reporters. According to the latest police statement, posted on Facebook, four people, including one of the suspects, have been transported to the Brooke Army Medical Center. The suspect is in a critical condition. Two victims suffered non-life threatening gunshot wounds and another was hospitalized because of “chest pains.”
However, according to AP citing unnamed San Antonio officials, the casualty list now stands at one dead, five injured - three hurt by gunshots and two with “non-shooting injuries.” The second suspect, described by police as a “Hispanic male wearing a hoodie,” fled the mall and is still being sought.
