Police: 3 hurt in shooting at Tanger Outlets in Arizona
(NEXSTAR) – Police say three people, including at least one child, were shot and wounded Wednesday at an outlet mall in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale.
One of the victims had life-threatening injuries. Police said the shooting was “an altercation between two groups of people” and not an active shooter.
