Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick tells FOX News that there were between 15 to 20 victims in the mass shooting. The suspect in custody is a 21-year-old man. 

 

 

Police responded to reports of an active shooting at the Cielo Vista Mall area shortly before 11 a.m. local time and asked people to stay clear of the active scene. Authorities originally gave multiple locations for the shooting at both a Walmart and the Cielo Vista Mall nearby.

 

 

Gunshots can be heard in a video taken by Sylvia Saucedo and shared by her relative Joshua Anthony, who says the footage was taken at the McDonald's inside the Walmart. Customers are seen hiding under tables as several gunshots rang out.

In another video by Victoria Balderrama, authorities are seen evacuating the JCPENNY in Cielo Vista Mall. Police are heard telling customers to keep their hands up and to run.

This is a developing story.
