The four victims, all men, were shot by the gunman, with one fatally wounded. Two of the victims were rushed to the hospital in critical condition, while the condition of the third victim was not immediately known.

The shooting sparked chaos and panic inside the mall, with people fleeing in fear for their lives.

Police quickly arrived on the scene and were able to apprehend two suspects, both men. A weapon was also found at the scene, though it’s not yet clear who fired the shots or what the motive behind the shooting was.

“What is it going to take to enact change?!?” she tweeted.

The Cielo Vista Mall is located in the same shopping center as the El Paso Walmart where Patrick Crusius carried out a racially motivated attack in 2019, killing 23 people. Crusius recently pleaded guilty to the crime.
