No suspect has been arrested so far, but Waterbury police said the shooting occurred during a conflict between two people. Police officers are still going from store to store inside the Brass Mill Center mall to clear the area, according to CBS News.
“We recovered some evidence on the scene that’s assisting us in identifying the type of weapon that was used, and we’re hoping to identify the shooter through our investigative means and our forensic technology,” Waterbury Police Chief Fernando Spagnolo said.
