On Saturday, the El Paso Police Department confirmed that there is an active shooter at the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas, urging locals to stay away from the area:

In an interview with CNN, the Mayor Dee Margo confirmed that there were three suspects taken into custody.

KTSM has now confirmed that 18 people have been shot at the Walmart across the street from the mall, with multiple injuries. Their condition is unknown.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that a man with an AK-47 opened fire in the parking lot. One witness told CBS News that he was about to enter the Walmart when he heard what sounded like ten gunshots and, he believes, two armed people. He saw one elderly woman fall to the ground, but did not know whether she was shot.
