BREAKING NEWS: At least one person was killed and five people reportedly wounded Wednesday afternoon by a lone gunman who shot up the largest shopping mall in Omaha, Neb.
FOX News confirmed that a gunman was taken into custody and that police are not searching for additional suspects.
Andrea McMaster, a spokesperson for the University of Nebraska Medical Center, told FOX News that three shooting victims were being treated: A 61-year-old man shot in the chest, a 34-year-old man shot in the arm, and a 55-year-old man with a cut to his face. The 61-year-old man was in critical condition and undergoing surgery.
She said other victims were being treated at another facility.
Creighton and Methodist hospitals reportedly were receiving victims.
FOX News has confirmed that one victim was shot in the head and killed. The report of a second fatality was not confirmed.
KMTV reported the two fatalities based on reports heard on police scanners.
One witness, Todd Trimpe, told FOX News that he saw police apprehend a man, dressed in camouflage, who was hiding under a bus-stop bench outside the mall. Trimpe said he did not know what was happening inside the mall when he witnessed the arrest.
Police had put the Westroads Mall, Omaha's largest shopping mall, on lockdown while it searched for the shooter.
One of the victims was reportedly an elderly man found near an escalator inside Von Maur department store, one of the mall's anchor tenents.
Witnesses described hearing "dozens and dozens" of shots being fired, with one witness saying she heard more than 30 shots.
A woman who answered the phone at an Old Navy store said 20 to 30 customers were huddled with employees in a back storeroom.
"All we know was people were running and screaming down the hallway by Von Maur saying there was a shooting, and then they locked us down," said the woman, who said her name was Heidi.
Keith Fidler, an employee at Von Maur, said he heard the burst of gunfire, followed by dozens of shots. Fidler said he huddled in the corner of the men's clothing department with about a dozen other employees until police yelled to get out of the store.
Fidler said he did not see the shooting, but saw a person lying by the elevator as he was leaving the store.
President Bush was in town Wednesday for a fundraiser in Omaha, but left about an hour before the shooting.
