Multiple people were killed in a shooting in an El Paso Walmart Saturday morning, the mayor’s chief of staff said.
“Active Shooting Stay away from Cielo Vista Mall Area. Scene is Still Active,” the police department wrote Saturday on Twitter.
Suspects are in custody, the El Paso mayor’s chief of staff Olivia Zepeda said according to CNN. The number of shooters and victims is unknown.
A family who was shopping at Walmart when shots rang out fled to a nearby retaurant, Landry’s Seafood, which went on lockdown.
“They are in shock right now. They were barely able to talk to us,” restaurant hostess Sofia Cervantes told USA Today.
News of the shooting in El Paso comes less than a week after the tragic shooting in Gilroy, California, which left three people dead, including 6-year-old Stephen Romero.
