Multiple people have been killed in a shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, according to local law enforcement and the city’s mayor.

One person was in custody, a police department spokesman said in a televised briefing.

El Paso police tweeted on Saturday that officers were responding to an active shooting scene and that people were advised to stay away from the Cielo Vista Mall area.

Local television station KTSM reported earlier that 18 people were shot or injured inside a Walmart at the mall, but the full extent of the injuries and deaths is still unknown.
