Multiple people hurt after driver plows through Texas mall; suspect shot, killed by police

A truck driver drove through a mall in Killeen, Texas, Saturday night, striking several people and injuring at least five, authorities said. The suspect was shot and killed by law enforcement. 

The situation unfolded at around 5 p.m. local time when an officer called in a suspected drunken driver, Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Bryan Washko told reporters in a briefing Saturday evening. Killeen is located about about an hour north of Austin. 

A Texas DPS trooper located the vehicle and followed it off of the highway and into the parking lot of the Killeen Mall. The truck then drove through the front glass doors of a JCPenny and continued inside, striking several people, Washko said.
