The Christiana Mall was evacuated Saturday evening after a shooting at the retail center.
Delaware State Police confirm three people were injured by gunfire and another five people suffered other injuries. The three shooting victims were taken to the hospital. Two of the people shot are in critical condition.
No arrests have been made and State Police say they are searching for suspects.
Investigators believe the incident was not a random act and started in the mall’s food court as part of an altercation between an unknown number of suspects and at least one shooting victim.
By 9 o’clock Saturday night, State Police said there were no longer any public safety concerns at Christiana Mall and the surrounding area.
The mall remained closed after the incident and a reunification site was set up at the North entrance to help people looking to locate someone in the mall during the incident.
Christiana Mall will remain closed Sunday. It was already scheduled to be closed for Easter.
Delaware State Police announced Sunday morning they will be at the Christiana Mall Monday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m to assist mall staff while they return lost property from the incident. Anyone wanting to reclaim property should go to the vacant storefront next to the Apple store.
