Three people who had firearms were arrested after the incident at the Columbiana Centre in Columbia.<\/p>\n
At least one of those held fired a weapon, said Columbia police chief William Holbrook.<\/p>\n
“We don’t believe this was random,” Mr Holbrook said. “We believe they knew each other and something led to the gunfire.”<\/p>\n
10 people were treated for gunshot wounds, while the other two were injured due to a stampede caused by the shooting.<\/p>\n
Mr Holbrook said two of the gunshot victims were in a critical but stable condition and there were no fatalities.<\/p>\n
Columbia Police deputy chief Melron Kelly earlier told The State newspaper that officers were “going store to store and closet to closet searching for someone with a weapon”.<\/p>\n
“Officers have been evacuating the mall and getting people to safety,” the police added.<\/p>\n
Officers earlier said they were responding to “shots fired” at the centre.<\/p>\n
They said: “We have confirmed that people have been injured during the incident, they are receiving medical attention.<\/p>\n
“The extent of injuries [are] unknown at this time.”<\/p>\n
Columbia Police Department later issued a statement that said: “Today’s isolated, senseless act of violence is extremely upsetting and our thoughts are with everyone impacted.<\/p>\n
“We are grateful for the quick response and continued support of our security team and our partners in law enforcement.”<\/p>\n
