Jacob Bergquist was not officially arrested as he was shot and admitted to the hospital where he subsequently died of his injuries.
Although it’s not confirmed how he got shot, the police believe he was involved in a shootout with the officers and was injured.
Law enforcement is still investigating the real motive behind the shootout. As per CBS News, there was no connection between him and the victims, and the shootout appears to be random.
A security officer approached Bergquist at the mall and he fatally shot the officer and fired multiple shots in the building that ultimately hit his second deceased victim.
He then walked around the mall and injured two other women. The police stepped in at this point and a shootout occurred which injured two more victims.
