At least 9 people were killed and five were injured during a shooting at the West Roads shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska with the gunman committing suicide. Of the injured, two are still in critical condition.
“The shooter is male, and has died from a self inflicted gunshot wound,” said a Omaha Police spokesman during a live press conference.
The shooting started near the outside entrance to the Von Maur department store when the man began to open fire with a “rifle.”
“We are setting up a station at the Hampton Inn for families and the victims,” added the spokesman. The injured are being taken to the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Police are not releasing names until all family members can be notified.
