Was there a shooting at the Boise Towne Square Mall?

Police confirmed on Monday that there was a shooting at the Boise Towne Square Mall in Boise, Idaho.

The shooting left four injured and two dead, according to reports.

One suspect has been taken into custody, but their identity has not been released to the public at this time.

"Never should one have to, or does one expect when they're saying goodbye to a loved one who is headed to work, who is headed out to shop, that they'll get a call like they did today," Mayor Lauren McLean told reporters in a press conference.

"Countless people found themselves in a situation they never would have — or should have — expected."  

Police Chief Ryan Lee added that reports started coming in around 1:50pm local time that “at least one person was shot and down.”

“We really cannot at this time speak to any motivation behind it, or anything else that may impact the investigation,” Lee continued.

“It would be entirely too premature to make any of those assumptions.”

Who died in the Boise Towne Square Mall shooting?

At this time, police have not released the names of those who were killed or the names of those who were injured.

More information is expected to be released within the coming days.
