At least one person has been killed in a shooting incident at a mall in Omaha.

OMAHA, Neb. - At least one person was shot Wednesday at a busy Omaha mall, and police locked down the shopping center while they searched for a gunman. It was not immediately clear whether the shooter was still inside the mall or whether other people were wounded at the Westroads Mall.

Police refused to confirm any injuries or arrests.

A witness, Todd Trimpe, told Omaha television station KMTV that he saw police apprehend a man who was hiding under a bus stop bench outside the mall. Trimpe said the man was dressed in camouflage.

Fox News radio is reporting now that the suspect has been arrested...
