At least two reported victims with gunshot wounds at Valley Fair Mall in California on Black Friday: police

On Friday, the San Jose Police Department investigated a shooting at Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara after officers responded around 5:40 p.m.
The department said the shooting appears to be an isolated incident and officials do not believe this was an active shooter targeting shoppers.
Officials found two people with gunshot wounds taken to an area hospital, and police said a third person was also hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers evacuated and cleared the mall to confirm no ongoing threat, while San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan offered prayers and Congressman Ro Khanna offered federal assistance.
The shooter fled before police arrived, and initial reports referenced a deadly weapon and a felony hit-and-run amid an observed altercation involving a male victim and two others caught in crossfire.
