SAVANNAH, Ga. () — The Oglethorpe Mall has reopened for the first time since the shooting on July 2nd.
Employees from several businesses inside the mall were seen walking through the doors Friday morning.
The Savannah Police Department (SPD) released the name of a woman who died due to heart complications exacerbated by the shooting. Olislene “Tina” Smith passed away around midnight Friday.
According to SPD, officers arrived on the scene at around 5:41 p.m. based on reports of a shooting and discovered three gunshot victims. Chatham County EMS transported the victims to Memorial Health University Medical Center for further treatment.
Three additional individuals were transported by EMS to Memorial for non-gunshot-related medical complications. SPD evacuated the mall, which was then cleared by the SPD SWAT team before returning the mall to management.
No arrests have been made as of Friday morning, however SPD will be working closely with the Chatham County District Attorney’s Office in the coming days to determine appropriate charges and to whom.
