Two suspects are dead after being involved in a shooting in a clothing stores at a central Florida mall Tuesday, according to Reuters.
Officers responded to shots being fired near the Osceola Square Mall's Ross Dress For Less store around 6:15 p.m., Kissimmee police said in a news release, Reuters reported. The shooters died in a car crash after leaving the scene of the crime.
The injuries of the two victims, who weren't immediately named, didn't appear to be life-threatening, police said, according to Reuters.
As officers were heading to the store, they saw a vehicle matching a description of the suspects' vehicle heading toward them, Reuters reported. The officers turned around to follow and eventually found that it had crashed head-on into another car.
The two men in the suspect vehicle were dead from what appeared to be crash-related injuries, Miller said, according to Reuters. The driver of the other vehicle was injured, but did not sustain life-threatening injuries.
The shooting followed a verbal fight in the store and spilled outside, police spokeswoman Stacie Miller said, Reuters reported. Miller said it wasn't clear if the shooting suspects were in the mall or out in the parking lot.
The victims, who didn't have weapons, were at another mall entrance when they were shot, according to Reuters.
The Florida Highway Patrol will take over the crash investigation and identify the dead men, Miller said, Reuters reported. After that, police will conduct a photo lineup with the shooting victims to determine if they were the suspects.
The Ross store was reopened to customers later that night as police continued to process a cordoned off area, according to Reuters.
