CARROLLTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 A man shot five people in Texas on Tuesday, killing two of them, at a shopping center north of Dallas, police said.<\/p>\n
It was not a random act of violence and the victims knew the attacker, Carrollton Police Chief Roberto Arredondo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t know exactly what the meeting was about, but we understand it to be a business relation,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
After a short chase on foot, the 69-year-old suspect was arrested about 4 miles (6 kilometers) away at a grocery store, police said.<\/p>\n
Video posted online showed officers with their guns drawn as they walked past doors at K Towne Plaza in an area of the city known as Koreatown. Agents from the FBI and another federal agency were among law enforcement at the scene.<\/p>\n
Carrollton, population 130,000, is 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Dallas. More than 4,000 residents are of Korean descent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.<\/p>\n
In the last 20 years, it has grown into a thriving Koreatown for the metro Dallas area, thanks to Korean investors. It\u2019s anchored by big-box businesses like H Mart as well as dozens of restaurants serving everything from Korean fried chicken to shaved ice desserts.<\/p>\n
The city is also home to multiple Korean churches from Baptist to Presbyterian.<\/p>\n
