Oklahoma City Police are searching for a suspect after a shooting at Penn Square Mall this afternoon. According to witnesses and reports a person was shot inside Foot Locker near the Food Court. The victim was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
OKC Police say the suspect is described as a black male with no shirt, grey sweatpants, and red underwear exposed. He also has a tattoo on his back left shoulder.
Not only were large numbers of people inside the mall shopping including young children but the entire OKC Thunder team was inside the mall during the shooting as well. Steven Adams was spotted exiting the mall by someone on Twitter. You can see the picture below.
Penn Square Mall says if you were inside the mall and left belongings behind they will be going through the mall and collecting everything. You'll be able to pick it up from the mall when they re-open tomorrow. You may call 405-841-2696 to inquire about lost items.
I happened to be arriving to the radio station when this happened. As I was pulling into the parking lot I ran into multiple people who were shopping at the mall run through our parking lot hugging each other and crying. It was so hard to see (especially those with young children).
