Fleeing driver shot dead after driving into Texas mall

The victims ranged in age from six to 75 and their conditions were not immediately known. 

Ofelia Miramontez of the Killeen Police Department said the incident began with calls about an erratic driver in a black pickup in Belton, about 30km away.

The chase began around 5pm on Interstate 14, according to Washko. 

The driver pulled off and drove into the mall's parking lot, crashed into the department store and continued driving, Washko said. 

Local law enforcement at the mall — one working security and two others who were off duty — also traded gunfire with the suspect, he said.
