CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a woman has died following a shooting that took place near the food court of the Coral Ridge Mall, in Coralville, a little after 7-p.m., Friday. Officials with the Iowa Department of Public Safety say the woman’s name was being withheld pending notification of family. The suspect was stopped and arrested on Interstate 80 near Highway 61 by Iowa State Patrol along with Scott County Sheriff’s deputies. No other suspects are being sought. No other details have been released at this time.
The Coralville Mall, located in the eastern Iowa community of 19,000, is the second-largest mall in Iowa. The shooting prompted some shoppers and workers to rush out of the mall and others to remain on lockdown for more than an hour.
