NORTH CHARLESTON, SC (AP) – Police say they are stepping up patrols at a South Carolina shopping center, where three people were injured by a sniper over the weekend.
The company that owns Northwoods Mall in North Charleston said it is increasing security also after shots inside the mall caused shoppers to flee on Sunday.
One person shot at the mall sustained serious injuries, according to North Charleston police, while two others had injuries described as non-life threatening.
A police incident report said passersby reported that someone opened fire with a gun in the center of the mall. No arrests were reported on Tuesday.
Deputy Police Chief Scott Deckard said the three victims were passers-by who were injured when the sniper shot another person, who was not hit.
