AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) One person shot and killed Tuesday when a
fistfight at a Georgia shopping mall ended in gunfire, according
to the sheriff.
Richmond County Sheriff Eugene Brantley told reporters no one
else was seriously injured at the Augusta Mall, where SWAT team
members went store-by-store to evacuate hiding shoppers and
employees.
Mall security video of the shooting helped deputies quickly
identify suspects, Brantley said. Two were in custody Tuesday
afternoon, while investigators were still searching for two
others.
It all started as a fight at first, which ended up going from a
fistfight to one of the subjects pulling out a firearm and
shooting the other one, said Brantley, adding that the shooting
victim was one of about six people involved in the fight.
The mall was closed Tuesday following the shooting.
