«Breaking News» Alabama mall shooting: Black Friday horror with gunman dead and two injured

A 21-year-old gunman was shot dead by police after opening fire at a busy Alabama mall on Thursday night. 

The shooting happened at 9.30pm on at the Riverchase Galleria in Hoover, a nearby suburb of Birmingham. 

It started when the gunman, an unnamed 21-year-old from Hueytown, got into a fight with an 18-year-old boy.  

It is unclear if they knew each other beforehand or if the fight was shopping-related. 

Witnesses told WBRC in Alabama that the shooting happened 'between JCPenney and Footaction near the food court.' 

The gunman opened fire, injuring the 18-year-old and a 12-year-old girl who was nearby, then fled. He was shot dead by police who were nearby and ran towards the gunfire after hearing the shots ring out.

Both victims were taken to hospitals and are expected to survive. The 12-year-old girl was shot once.  None of the youngsters involved have been named.  

The shooting sparked horror and panic among the crowds of bargain hunters who had flocked to the mall after Thanksgiving dinner to snap up discounts.    

They took to social media in confusion to describe hearing shots in the mall. 

It was unclear at first if it was an intended mass shooter.

Photos and videos of the mass panic caused by the shooting were shared on social media. 

One Twitter user said: 'I’m in the parking lot of the Riverchase Galleria in Alabama where a shooting just happened. 

'I’m so shaky right now I’m sorry if I don't make any sense. The suspect is dead. My prayers go out to those injured.' 

Videos posted to social media showed shoppers fleeing in terror as shots rang out at the mall following a fight between a young gunman and a teenage boy

Mall staff later tweeted: 'We are devastated by the incident that happened tonight in our shopping center.

'We are working closely with the Hoover Police Department and are grateful for their swift action to contain the situation. 

'While there is no current danger to our community, the shopping center will remain closed until further notice.' 

Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said on Thursday night: 'They heard the gunfire, they engaged the subject and they took out the threat.'

An 18-year-old was taken to hospital in a 'serious' condition while a 12-year-old girl had to have emergency surgery

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
