Police are looking for a person who shot and killed two young men at Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento on Black Friday.

“Heard a couple of shots go off, didn’t really think anything of it,” Antwon Martinez said. “And more and more kept going off, so everyone started running toward our back room.... Everyone just started running.”The COVID-19 pandemic kept crowds thinner than usual on Black Friday, normally one of the busiest shopping days of the year, the newspaper reported.

Chan said the shooting appeared to be a targeted and isolated attack, though he didn’t disclose the gunman’s motive. Police said they were looking for a suspect in his 20s.Other details of the shooting weren’t immediately released but Chan urged people who may have witnessed the shooting to come forward and said the mall’s security camera video will be examined by homicide detectives.Gun assaults and homicides have surged in the California capital, as well as in Los Angeles and other cities.

“We are deeply concerned by the increase in gun violence in Sacramento and other cities during the pandemic, and have supported increasing our efforts to reach young people at risk,” Mayor Darrell Steinberg tweeted. “A gun is never the answer.”

The part you left out of your report was that the suspect description of an African American male in his 20's Anytime police are involved you JUMP to describe the police as white and suspect as black for a reaction. So a black male shot at 2 black males?
