Law enforcement officials said an off-duty police officer took down the suspect who fatally shot one person and wounded three others at a shopping mall in El Paso, Texas, on Feb. 15, preventing the gunman from potentially taking more lives.
El Paso Police Chief Peter Pacillas said at a Feb. 15 press conference that the gunman who fired multiple rounds striking at least four people at about 5:05 p.m. local time at the Cielo Vista Mall food court was taken down quickly by an off-duty police officer.
