2 Killed, 3 Injured in Shooting at Texas Shopping Mall

The Texas Tribune

CARROLLTON, TX — A man shot five people in Texas on Tuesday, killing two of them, after meeting at a shopping center north of Dallas, police said.

It was not a random act of violence and the attacker knew the victims, Carrollton Police Chief Roberto Arredondo said.

“It was a known business relationship. We are still working through trying to identify his causes,” Arredondo said.

The 69-year-old suspect, Seung Han Ho, was arrested about 4 miles away at a grocery store, police said. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.

Three people were injured in the shooting but are in stable condition, Arredondo said. Police were at a nearby apartment complex where Ho was listed as having recently lived. Neighbors said they didn’t recognize the name.

Video posted online showed officers with their guns drawn as they walked past doors at K Towne Plaza in an area of the city known as Koreatown. Agents from the FBI and another federal agency were among law enforcement at the scene.

Gov. Greg Abbott posted on social media that the Texas Department of Public Safety is assisting Carrollton police.

Carrollton is 20 miles north of Dallas.
