The shooting happened at around 7:30 p.m. in the middle of a family trick-or-treating event at the mall. At that time, someone in the food court opened fire, killing one person and sending two others to the hospital, according to police.

Authorities say the suspect was wearing a Halloween-type mask at the time of the shooting and it is believed to have been a targeted attack.
