OMAHA, Neb. —
A shooting at a Nebraska mall left one person dead and another wounded Saturday as terrified shoppers ran for cover.
Authorities believe the shooting at Westroads Mall in Omaha was an isolated incident, and not a random attack.
Police searched the mall and determined the suspects had fled the scene, according to Omaha police Lt. Neal Bonacci. Officers first gave the “all clear” around 1 p.m. — about an hour after multiple shots were fired, The Omaha World-Herald reports.
