CARROLLTON, Texas — A suspect has been arrested and charged with shooting and killing two people and injuring three others Tuesday at Carrollton’s Ktowne Plaza, police said.
According to police, the suspect, 69-year-old Sung Ho Han, was arrested at about 12:12 p.m. after a short foot chase at the H Mart in Carrollton, located on Old Denton Road.
Officers responded to the shooting on Tuesday morning to 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 reportedly confessed to shooting all five victims, police say. He reportedly told police he was angry at them because of financial disagreements connected with their business dealings.
Investigators found that the suspect and victims were meeting up for “business purposes,” Carrollton Police Chief Roberto Arredondo said in the press conference.
Texas DPS confirmed to WFAA that they were on the scene assisting the Carrollton Police Department with its investigation. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and several other federal law enforcement agencies were also on the scene but investigators said during the news conference that they don’t believe it is a hate crime.
For longtime residents, the shooting comes as a shock to the community, who describe the area is rather quiet and safe.
“We’re mourning that this happened,” John Jun with the Korean American Coalition, said. “It was unexpected.”
Police say there is no ongoing threat to the public.
