Police said in a statement that off-duty officers who were working at the mall arrived at the scene after the fight broke out. One “armed” person was shot and pronounced dead at the scene.
No officers were injured.
The police statement said that the situation was not considered “an active shooter situation,” an indication that no armed suspects were on the loose.

An innocent gun, holiday shopping… + the spirit of the season… = Baby Jesus didn’t know what he was getting into
Peace on Earth, good will towards guns
Two guns sold, and one death. From the NRA’s perspective, a pretty good exchange.
