DELAWARE MALL SHOOTING: 3 SHOT, 5 INJURED AS POLICE SEARCH FOR GUNMAN
Delaware police are actively searching for three suspects in a weekend shooting at the Christiana Mall.
According to the state police, the three suspects confronted an 18-year-old man as he was leaving the Christiana Mall's food court shortly after 6:30 p.m. Saturday and began to assault him. Two friends of the victim began fighting with them, and one of the suspects pulled out a handgun and fired multiple rounds. The original target of the attack and a 16-year-old friend were each shot by three rounds in the torso and lower extremities. The three suspects, described as in their late teens, then fled.
