Howard County, Maryland, police issued a lockdown and started an investigation Saturday after an altercation at The Mall in Columbia turned into a deadly shooting.
Officers responded to reports of an active shooting incident that started at around 6:10 p.m. in the mall, according to a Howard County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.
Shots rang out “during an altercation between two people” in the mall’s food court area, police said, killing one unidentified male. … “We don’t believe this is a random incident and we do believe it was a victim who was targeted,” spokesperson Sherry Llewellyn said during a press conference Saturday evening.
Police have since determined that the people involved in the shooting left the mall property.
