Authorities say a shooting at a South Florida shopping mall that sent anxious shoppers running for cover has left three people injured.

HOOVER, Ala. A shooting at an Alabama shopping mall left at least four people hospitalized Friday afternoon, police said. We dont know at this point what led to the shooting or how many gunmen were involved, Rector added. The mall in suburban Birmingham was the site of a 2018 police shooting where an officer fatally shot a Black man with a gun after mistaking him for the gunman in an earlier shooting at the mall. The shooting of 21-year-old Emantic EJ Bradford Jr. prompted a series of protests at the mall. The Alabama attorney generals office cleared the officer, saying he acted reasonably under the circumstances in the encounter that spanned approximately five seconds.
