One injured in shooting at Dulles Town Center Mall
One male was injured in a shooting just before noon Sunday at the Dulles Town Center mall in suburban Virginia, and another male suspect was taken into custody, authorities said.
Officers closed the mall in Sterling, Va., as they continue to investigate, said Tom Julia, a spokesman for the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office. The person who was shot was being treated for a gunshot wound at a hospital; details on his condition could not immediately be learned.Authorities believe the shooting stemmed from a dispute between the two males, although they are still looking into the circumstances, Julia said.
The shooting in broad daylight in a public place evoked fears of an indiscriminate attack, and employees said they were frustrated that the shopping center had been the site of gunfire. The violence came about a week after three children and three adults were fatally shot“You can’t go to the mall, you can’t go to the supermarket, you can’t go to church. You can’t go anywhere nowadays,” said Mayra Rodriguez, who was working inside the mall at the time of the shooting.
Diana Zelaya, who also was at work inside the mall when the shooting began, said she heard a gunshot, but wasn’t quite sure what it was. It wasn’t until patrons rushed for the exits that she realized something was wrong.This is a developing story and will be updated.
