A manhunt was underway in Sacramento, Calif., on Friday night after a shopping mall shooting left at least one person dead and another wounded, according to reports.
Sacramento Police Department messages on social media did not confirm the death, but multiple news outlets reported a fatality.
The suspect fled the scene, police wrote on Twitter, adding “There is no active threat at this time.”

The wounded person was taken to a trauma hospital with life-threatening injuries, FOX 40 of Sacramento reported.
The victims were an adult man (who was killed) and a teenager, according to the Sacramento Bee.

“We are awaiting more details on tonight’s incident from @SacPolice,” Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg tweeted shortly after the shooting. “We are deeply concerned by the increase in gun violence in Sacramento and other cities during the pandemic, and have supported increasing our efforts to reach young people at risk. A gun is never the answer.”
