Two of the victims hid in a closet in one of the stores in the mall, the blood trails confirm that.

NCPD did issue the following, lengthy statement:

“The incident yesterday at Northwoods Mall is a stark and tragic reminder that, as an entire community, we need to take a holistic approach to eliminating gun violence on our streets, in our homes, and in our city’s businesses. Northwoods Mall and the surrounding businesses receive extra patrols to ensure the citizens’ safety as they patronize the establishments.

The shooting incidents, which have occurred at the mall, have each been the result of individuals, o”r groups of individuals, who have conflict with one another and decide that the way to solve their conflicts is through violence.”
