Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott, Jr said in a statement that the actions of two people had “jeopardized the lives” of shoppers.

“Gun violence is unacceptable at any time or in any place,” he added. We trust those responsible for this will be held fully accountable for their dangerous and reckless decisions. We are grateful to our law enforcement officers, first responders, mall security, and employees, and everyone who acted quickly to ensure safety and protect others.”
