2 dead, 3 injured in shootings at Texas shopping center, apartment: Police
Two people were killed and three others were injured in two shootings by the same gunman Tuesday morning, including at a shopping mall north of Dallas, authorities said.
The shooting suspect, identified by police as 69-year-old Seung Ho Han, was captured after a brief foot pursuit, police said.
Police said the gunshots first rang out Tuesday morning at a Korean mall in Carrollton, about 20 miles north of Dallas.

Carrollton police said in a press release that police responded to K Towne Plaza shortly before 10 a.m. CT for a report of a shooting and found a man dead at the scene and three others, two men and a woman, suffering from gunshot wounds.
At a news conference early Tuesday, Carrollton Police Chief Roberto Arredondo said the attack occurred during a business meeting.
Later, while the first shooting was still under investigation, police learned that a second shooting had occurred a few miles away, shortly before 11:15 a.m., in the 2700 block of Old Denton Road. At the scene, police found a dead man in an apartment, authorities said.

At the earlier press conference, Arredondo called it a “complicated scene.” He said officers were working “multiple scenes” at K Towne Plaza and a nearby shopping mall known locally as Koreatown, where the suspect was taken into custody.

“There is no immediate threat to the public at this time,” Arredondo said. “The victims were meeting the suspect for business purposes. This is not a random gunshot.”
Arredondo said police are still working to learn more about the business relationship between the suspect and the victims, all of whom are adults.
In the press release, police said the suspect “indicated that he was angry with the victims due to financial disputes related to business dealings.”
The police chief did not release any further details about the victims.
