Shoppers scrambled for safety as the pickup truck careened "for several hundred yards" into the mall, police said.

Authorities in Texas say a pickup truck driver fleeing police careened through the doors of a JCPenney store, injuring five people before he was fatally shot by law enforcement officers at a busy mall.

The suspect drove through the doors of a JCPenny in Killeen, Texas, and continued inside for "several hundred yards," an official said.
