CARROLLTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 A man shot five people in Texas on Tuesday, killing two of them, after meeting at a shopping center north of Dallas, police said.<\/p>\n
It was not a random act of violence and the attacker knew the victims, Carrollton Police Chief Roberto Arredondo said.<\/p>\n
“It was a known business relationship. We are still working through trying to identify his causes,\u201d Arredondo said.<\/p>\n
After a short chase on foot, the 69-year-old suspect, Seung Han Ho, was arrested about 4 miles (6 kilometers) away at a grocery store, police said. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.<\/p>\n
Police were at a nearby apartment complex where Ho was listed as having recently lived. Neighbors said they didn\u2019t recognize the name.<\/p>\n
Three people were injured in the shooting but are in stable condition, Arredondo said. Shortly after the shooting, officers with their guns drawn walked past doors at K Towne Plaza in an area of Carrollton known as Koreatown. Agents from the FBI were among law enforcement collecting evidence in the parking lot.<\/p>\n
Carrollton \u2014 population 130,000 \u2014 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
\u201cWe\u2019re shocked,\u201d said John Jun, who\u2019s active in the Korean American community. \u201cWe\u2019re not immune to something like this happening, but we are very generally a peaceful community that works hard.\u201d<\/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
