The Tacoma police department said the victim was taken to a local hospital suffering from serious injuries.
“People were fleeing, sheltering in place and the stores went into lockdown,” Pierce County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Sgt. Darren Moss told CNN.
He said the mall was closed as police searched for a suspect. “The scene is still active, and we do not want people responding there,” Moss said.
Law enforcement officers throughout Pierce County were helping Tacoma police search the mall, the county’s sheriff’s department said in a tweet.
