MIAMI (WFLA) — An investigation was launched Tuesday after police said a man stabbed a woman and then shot himself at Miami International Mall.
Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to reports of a stabbing at the mall, located on Northwest 107th Avenue in Doral.
Doral police told NBC 6 the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The woman was taken to Kendall Regional Hospital in critical condition.
Authorities haven’t released the identities of anyone involved, but said they believe the man and woman knew each other.
The incident happened near the mall’s food court and a Macy’s. Police said there typically is not a heavy shopper presence in the area.
In an Instagram post, Doral Police Chief Edwin Lopez said it appeared to be an “isolated incident,” and that the scene was deemed safe.
“The Doral Police Department would like to thanks the public for their cooperation and understanding during this incident,” the post read. “As always, the safety and security of our community remains our top priority.”
No further information was immediately available.
