Two teenagers were killed in a shooting outside a mall in Massachusetts, authorities said.
An 18-year-old female and a 15-year-old boy were fatally shot around 7 p.m. Saturday at Westgate Mall in Brockton, Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz wrote on social media. There were no further details released about the victims.
Witnesses said a fight between several teenagers erupted at the mall about 15 miles south of central Boston, local ABC affiliate WCVB reported. The altercation erupted outside Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park and escalated in the mall parking lot, cops said.
No suspects were in custody as of Sunday evening. Cops did not say if any people of interest had been identified.
“Any violence, any horrific violence is a tragedy. We are talking about teenagers that lost their lives,” Brockton Mayor Robert Sullivan said. “Unacceptable in the city of Brockton. I’m confident in the police doing their investigation right now.”
The trampoline park where the fight began held its grand opening Saturday, according to local NBC affiliate WBTS. On Sunday, it was closed as police investigated the deadly shooting.
“I don’t know what to say,” resident Renee Williams told the station. “Just sad that you can’t even have a good event with people out here, just shooting.”
