COLUMBIA, Maryland — One person was killed in a shooting at a shopping mall in a Baltimore and Washington suburb on Saturday, police said.
Authorities received a call about shots fired in the food court of the Columbia, Maryland, mall around 6:10 p.m. Officers found a male victim who had been fatally shot, Howard County police said.
Police determined the people involved in the shooting fled the mall and detectives believe the victim was targeted.
