I know many of you don't like us calling Crossroads Mall "Ganbanger Central," but today it proved that it was just that. I don't see Crossroads ever becoming anything more than breading grounds for gangs. Mall management has simply allowed it to come to that.

One person is dead and another injured after a shooting Saturday at Crossroads Mall in south Oklahoma City.


An Oklahoma County sheriff's deputy on-duty at the mall heard people fighting near JC Penney and saw a male shoot another male with a gun, said Oklahoma County Sheriff John Whetsel.

The deputy fatally shot the gunman, Whetsel said.

The person who was initially shot was taken to a city hospital, Whetsel said. His condition is not known.
