CNN) -- A gunman killed eight people and wounded five others Wednesday at the popular Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska, before apparently turning the gun on himself, police said.

"We do not believe that we have any other shooter," said Sgt. Teresa Negron.

The shooting took place at the Von Maur store inside the shopping complex, which was locked down, the Nebraska State Patrol said.

Shoppers and employees walked out of the building with their hands up. Some described hiding in clothes racks and dressing rooms after hearing the shots.

I second that. I was just at that mall on Saturday, as it's only a few miles from where I live. This whole thing is just tragic.

Like the plot of the Tom Clancey book Teeth Of The Tiger, but the shooter(s) were terrorists.
