Three people were killed and three others were injured on Sunday at a mall in the US state in Indiana, said officials, the latest in a series of weapons violence in the country.
“We experienced mass shooting tonight at Greenwood Park Mall,” Mark Myers, Mayor of Greenwood, Indiana, said in a statement.
“We have three current deaths and three others are injured.”
Myers said that the armed man was shot dead by “an armed individual.”
Greenwood police shared posts on their Facebook page asking witnesses to shoot to contact the department with information.
The attack was the latest in a wave of weapons violence that disturbed the United States, where around 40,000 deaths were caused by firearms, according to archive of weapons.
It comes only a few weeks after a shooter opened fire during a parade of July 4 in a rich suburb of Chicago, killing seven people and injuring at least three dozen.
This shooting followed two massacres in May which saw 10 blacks slaughtered in a Upstate New York supermarket, and 19 children and two teachers killed in a primary school in Texas.
The recent increase in armed violence has revived the debate of the division on the regulation on firearms. A committee of the House of Representatives of the United States should vote this week for the first time in almost 20 years on a bill which would prohibit the assault weapons.
