The alleged shooter was stopped by a “good Samaritan”, as the police representative says. The man, who was also at the mall, cooperated with investigators and shot the shooter with a handgun.
“We are shocked by another incident of this kind in our country, in our city,” said the police representative, according to dpa . Fatal incidents involving firearms are not uncommon in the United States. Just two weeks ago, a 21-year-old man opened fire at an Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb, killing seven people. A debate is raging in the USA about stricter gun laws – but the Supreme Court recently relaxed the gun laws. (Lea-Sophie Mollus)
