CARROLLTON, Texas — Two people were killed, and three others were injured during a shooting at Carrollton’s Ktowne Plaza. Police have identified a suspect, officials said.
Officers responded on Tuesday afternoon in the 4000 block of State Highway 121, an area primarily populated by Korean businesses, known as Ktowne Plaza, the Carrollton Police Department said at a press conference.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found that five people were shot, and two of those victims were killed, officials said. The suspect, who was identified as 69-year-old Sung Ho Han, was later arrested after a short foot chase at the H Mart in Carrollton, located on Old Denton Road.
