JUST IN: Walmart responds to shooting at an El, Paso, Texas mall: 'We're in shock over the tragic events at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso...We’re praying for the victims, the community & our associates as well, as the first responders.'
As many as 18 people were shot and three suspects were in custody after a mass shooting at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart Saturday morning, officials said.
A spokesperson for El Paso Mayor Dee Margo confirmed to ABC News that there were"multiple fatalities" from the shooting.Scene is still Active. We have multi reports of multiple shooters. Please avoid area police conducting search of a very large area. Media staging will be given when area is secure. Mistey Garcia, 33, an employee at a Hooters restaurant in the Cielo Vista Mall, told ABC News in a telephone interview that “we’re all pretty nervous and scared. We’re kind of hoping and sending our prayers down to everyone at Walmart.”
Garcia said no one at Hooters had been briefed directly by law enforcement – as they’re locked in the restaurant – about whether the shooting is unfolding in or near Walmart, and no restaurant employee directly heard gunshots. The first tweet from the El Paso Police Department's Twitter account came in at 11:03 a.m. local time. A second tweet reiterating the danger was issued at 11:29 a.m. and a third, announcing that the mall is closed due to police activity, was issued one minute later.
