Of course, shoppers went into a frenzy. Witness, Angie Vargas was shopping with her daughter at the time and says that people started to panic.
Angie’s Statement:
Someone said it’s a shooting and everyone started running. I grabbed my daughter and we didn’t know where to go. Kids were crying, running around looking for their moms and we’re like ‘go over there!’

There is no information about the suspects in the shooting at this time. The name of the young girl who died, has not been released at this time.
