At least 3 people were killed and another three injured Sunday at a mall in the US state of Indiana, officials said, the latest in a spate of gun violence in the country.
“We experienced a mass shooting this evening at the Greenwood Park Mall,” Mark Myers, the mayor of Greenwood, Indiana, said in a statement.
“We have three fatalities at this time and three others injured.”
Myers said that the gunman had been shot dead by “an armed individual.”
The Greenwood police shared a post on their Facebook page asking for witnesses to the shooting to contact the department with information.
The attack is the latest in a wave of gun violence plaguing the United States, where about 40,000 deaths a year are caused by firearms, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
