A gunman opened fire in a crowded New Jersey mall on Tuesday before taking his own life. No one else was hurt, but many were trapped for several hours as police conducted a search. Paramus Police Chief Kenneth Ehrenberg briefed reporters after the gunman’s body was found.

Kenneth Ehrenberg: “One of the SWAT teams here, as we progressed through the night, was able to locate the victim in a back room with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. At this point, we are still doing a secondary search on the stores. Many stores have lockdown procedures. They have locked themselves in the store. and we need to go store by store to get these people out of the — to get them out and let them know everything is safe here.”
