Authorities said the gunfire erupted shortly before 10:00 local time at a Korean shopping complex in Carrollton, a city about 20 miles north of Dallas. Police were called to the scene after receiving reports of shots fired at K Towne Plaza.

When officers arrived, they found two people dead at the location, according to Carrollton Police Chief Roberto Arredondo. Three additional people who had been wounded were taken for treatment and were reported to be in stable condition.

Suspect detained after foot pursuit

Police said the suspected gunman was captured nearby following a short foot pursuit. Chief Arredondo identified the suspect as 69-year-old Seung Han Ho.

Investigators detained him close to the shopping centre, in an area locally referred to as Koreatown. Officers had been working across several locations around K Towne Plaza and the neighbouring shopping area as they secured the scene and searched for the suspect.

Arredondo described the response as involving a “complicated scene”, with police managing multiple areas linked to the incident. Authorities did not provide details about what led to the shooting or how the events unfolded before officers arrived.

Meeting linked to business matter

Police said the people involved had been meeting with the suspect for a business-related purpose when the shooting occurred. Arredondo stressed that investigators do not believe the attack was random.

“This is not a random act of gunfire,” he said during a press briefing.

Authorities said there was no ongoing danger to the wider public following the suspect’s arrest.

Investigators are continuing to examine the relationship between the suspect and the victims to understand the circumstances behind the meeting and what may have led to the violence.

Victims not yet identified

Police confirmed that all of the victims were adults but did not release further details about their identities.

Officials also declined to provide information about the nature of the injuries sustained by the three survivors, beyond confirming that they were in stable condition.

The investigation remains ongoing as police gather evidence from the scene and speak with witnesses. Authorities have not said whether the suspect will face charges or when additional information about the case may be released.

The shooting took place in a commercial area that serves the local Korean community and includes a range of businesses and restaurants. Police continued working across several locations in and around the shopping complex as part of the investigation.

Investigation continues

Officers remained at the site on Tuesday as they worked to piece together the events surrounding the shooting and determine the motive.

Chief Arredondo said police would release more details once investigators had a clearer understanding of the incident and the business relationship connecting those involved.

For now, officials say the suspect is in custody and the immediate threat has passed, while authorities continue their efforts to establish exactly what led to the deadly confrontation.
