A suspect was in custody and a second remained at large Sunday after a bystander was killed and five other people were injured in an attempted robbery at a mall in San Antonio, Texas, police said.

At least two of the five people with injuries were struck by gunfire, said authorities, who didn't report their conditions.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus described a terrifying scene in which a bystander who was simply trying to help was shot and killed, one suspect was shot and wounded, and a second suspect fled through Rolling Oaks Mall spraying bullets as he ran.

Police said the two robbers were fleeing a Kay Jewelers store in the mall in northwest San Antonio when two bystanders confronted them. One of the suspects shot one of the bystanders, who was declared dead, authorities said.

The second bystander, who was licensed to carry a concealed weapon, the shot one of the suspects, sending the second suspect racing away down the mall's corridors, firing his gun as he ran.
