"We have incidents where someone decides to pull out a gun and shoot somebody with a complete lack of respect for human life. I still don't know what to do with that," stated Hodges.
Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, tweeted, "The violence at MOA last night is unacceptable." His office has been working with local officials to provide assistance and resources, said Walz.
The largest mall in America, located about 10 miles south of downtown Minneapolis, is a famous tourist place in the midwest. The 30-year-old mall, with tens of millions of visitors per year, has more than 500 stores, around 50 dining options, and two hotels.
In August 2022, Mall of America witnessed a similar incident where someone fired gunshots in a crowded store. However, the police did not list any casualties. Furthermore, a domestic-related fatal stabbing at the mall also happened in 1999.
