FOG BLOG EASTER TRAGEDY LOG: EASTER WEEKEND MALL SHOOTING IN SOUTH CAROLINA!

1 person arrested in connection with South Carolina mall shooting that left 14 people injured, police say Police are asking witnesses for any information about a mass shooting at a South Carolina mall that left at least nine people with gunshot wounds and five others injured.

One man has been arrested in connection with the shooting at the Columbiana Centre mall on Saturday that left 14 people hurt, police said.

Jewayne Price, 22, will be charged with unlawful carrying of a pistol, the Columbia Police Department said in a news release. Police said investigators are consulting with prosecutors, and more charges are possible.

In a court hearing Sunday, a judge set a $25,000 bond, with the stipulation that Price would be under house arrest and required to wear an ankle monitor, police said.



"The judge will allow Price to travel from home to work certain times of the day," the agency tweeted.

CNN has been unable to determine whether Price has legal representation. He was one three people detained following the shooting. Police said two other men who were detained were released after investigators determined they weren't involved.

No fatalities were reported following the shooting at the mall, just 10 miles from downtown Columbia, Police Chief William H. "Skip" Holbrook said Saturday.

The shooting unfolded around 2 p.m. during what police believe was a clash between armed people inside the mall.

Police initially said 12 people were injured but later updated that number to 14 -- at least nine of whom were shot. Police said the five others were injured while attempting to flee; their injuries included broken bones and a head injury.
