STORYLINE:
Police arrested a suspect in connection with a shooting at a busy shopping mall in the capital of the US state of South Carolina on Saturday that left 14 people injured.
Columbia Police Chief W.H. "Skip" Holbrook said 22-year-old Jewayne M. Price, who was one of three people initially detained by law enforcement as a person of interest, remains in police custody and is expected to be charged with unlawful carrying of a pistol.
It is not immediately known if Price has an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Fourteen people were injured during the shooting at Columbiana Centre, Holbrook said in a news release Saturday.
The victims ranged in age from 15 to 73.
Holbrook said no fatalities have been reported but that nine people were shot and five people suffered injuries while attempting to flee the mall for safety.
Police said the 73-year-old victim continues to receive medical treatment, but the other victims have been released from local hospitals or will be released shortly.
Investigators believe that at least three suspects displayed firearms inside the mall but are working to determine how many suspects fired weapons.
Police said at least one firearm was seized.
Heavy police presence continued in the area hours after the shooting, though officers began letting more traffic through the streets surrounding the shopping centers and strip malls that are usually packed on weekends.
Officers were also stationed outside a nearby hotel designated as a reunification area for people at the scene of the shooting and their families.
Workers from a couple of stores remained clustered in the mostly empty parking lot Saturday evening, waiting for police to let them back inside to retrieve their car keys and personal belongings so they could leave.
