Virginia law enforcement identified the suspect accused of shooting another man in food court of a shopping mall Sunday.
Alan W. Colie, 31, of Leesburg, was arrested and charged with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within a building, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said. The shooting unfolded at the Dulles Town Center Mall Food Court Sunday morning as a result of "an interaction between the victim and Colie."
The sheriff's office said it received the first call reporting that a shooting had occurred at the Dulles Town Center mall in Sterling, Virginia, at approximately 11:57 a.m. Deputies quickly responded, arriving on the scene within three minutes of the call, the department said.
"Deputies immediately entered the mall and took the suspect in custody at approximately 12:02 p.m.," the press release said. "One adult male victim was found outside the mall with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. The victim was treated for injuries by deputies and members of the Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System (LC-CFRS) and transported to a local hospital for treatment. At this time, it does not appear that the suspect and the victim were known to each other."
