Three people were shot, two of them fatally, following an alleged argument early Friday afternoon at the Dearborn, Michigan, Fairlane Town Center mall.
ClickOnDetroit reported that the shots rang out at around 1:25 p.m.
People magazine noted that police indicated the shooting “stemmed from a dispute between two groups of people and was not a random act of violence.” CBS News pointed out that police said both groups “brought handguns to the mall.”
Three people were reportedly shot, one of whom died at the mall and another of whom died after being transported to the hospital. The third shooting victim is receiving treatment at a hospital.
Dearborn Police Issa Shahin commented on the incident, saying, “It’s completely unacceptable. For it to happen anywhere is unacceptable. The idea that it would happen in a public space, a mall, where people shop, is unconscionable. It’s just unbelievable.”
