Police were responding to reports of a shooting Thanksgiving night at the Riverchase Galleria in Hoover, a suburb of 95,000 people south of Birmingham, when an officer fatally shot 21-year-old Emantic "EJ" Bradford Jr.
Police initially blamed Bradford, who they said had a gun in his hand and was responsible for shooting two people at the mall.
They later retracted that statement and identified Erron Brown, 20, of Bessemer, as the gunman. Brown was arrested by U.S. Marshals in the Atlanta area.
Witnesses have said Bradford, who was licensed to carry a gun, was trying to help usher others away from the gunfire.
