One person was killed and three people were injured after gunfire erupted inside a mall in El Paso, Texas, authorities said Wednesday.
Two people were taken into custody in the shooting at Cielo Vista Mall, interim El Paso Police Chief Peter Pacillas told reporters.
The mall is next to the Walmart where a gunman killed 23 people and injured 22 in 2019.
An off-duty officer working security at the mall took a person identified only as a male into custody three minutes after gunshots were reported around 5 p.m., Pacillas said.
A second person also identified as a male was taken into custody later, he said.
Pacillas did not provide additional details about them or say what charges they could face. A motive remains unclear.
Reports of gunfire came from the mall's food court, police said on Twitter.

"No community deserves multiple incidents of gun violence," she said.
